Coloring Eggs

Saturday, after his 4 hour nap, Ben and I colored eggs. I was pretty excited because I felt I had a very good system this year, thanks to Pinterest. We used mason jars (tall and sturdy), gel food color (vibrant colors even when your child only has the patience to dip an egg for 15 seconds), and a clamp-style whisk to hold the eggs. Good system for a 3 year old.

Ben wasn't too happy that he had to wait for the water to heat up. [Side note: the green and pink jars are my glitter/time out jars I made this weekend - more on that to come]

Practicing his egg handling technique with the bunny egg holder

Finally! Some action!

And mommy got in on the action too - thanks to the handy dandy remote shutter release and tripod



The look of concentration as he tried to 'gently' place the egg in the jar using the bunny egg holder. I like the puffed up cheeks

Gently putting the egg in the jar...

Success! 



Oohing over our pretty eggs




The final result!
