We regularly hard boil eggs for salad toppings, or making egg salad sandwichs.  And I say why should egg coloring be only enjoyed once a year at Easter?  So we can tell the difference between the hard boiled and raw eggs, we’ll color the hard boiled ones.  Now I keep it real simple, using only one color on all of them.  The kids can choose the color and we’ll just use different ones each time.  I will also pick up Easter kits long after Easter on clearance for pennies so we can do fun things to the eggs like wrap them in those shrink wrap things, or add stickers or color them with white crayon(the color doesn’t stick where the crayon is leaving white lines).  This all only takes a few minutes but the joy it creates is well worth the effort.
