A fun activity for the whole family! Dying eggs naturally with items you have on your homestead is a wonderful way to achieve beautiful natural color. With spring just around the corner this is the perfect activity!

ITEMS NEEDED

25-30 hard boiled Eggs ( varied in color if possible, or just white. Although brown will take on some of the colors too

1 red cabbage ( chopped)

3 beets ( chopped)

1 yellow onion ( the skins) + 1TBS turmeric

DIRECTIONS

Boil veggies in separate pots for about an hour. Let cool

Add 3 TBS white vinegar to each mixture

Then place eggs in dye. Vary the amount of time in each. The eggs will to turn darker right away, this will happen after 24 hours.

I’d say leave some in for 1-2 hours then remove

3-4 hours then remove

24 hours then remove

After removing pat them dry. The colors will develop. Especially the deep blues after about 24 hours.

You can eat these eggs!

If just for display add some gold foil for sparkle!! Woohoo!
