Last night we worked on dying the Easter eggs. The kids all wanted to do their favorite colors. Ben blue, Allison orange, and Samantha pink. They turned out okay. Organic/local eggs take don't take color quite the same as the usual eggs you get from Cub Foods. I specifically got white ones (we usually get brown ones). I recall a friend of mine that has chickens saying that eggs have a membrane of some kind on the outside which protects them. You would never notice it unless you try to dye them in vinegar/dye I guess. Regardless the kids loved it, but it was yet another opportunity for the kids to work on their patience as they didn't understand why it took several minutes for each egg to turn colors.
