Paas Easter Egg Color Cups

It’s that time again, already!!! Time to get out your Paas coloring kit (they have a ton to choose from now) out and get those eggs all fancied up for the holiday!
From the initial stink of the vinegar being poured into the cups (I never have been a fan of that smell), to the cry of the first kid saying, “This crayon is broken!” (you know, the wax one whose effects show up only after the writing and then the dying is completed), to the crack of the last of the many eggs being dropped by slippery little hands (or by my slippery big hand–oops!), this odd little tradition is one that I truly enjoy remembering and reliving each Easter holiday.
I’d remembered seeing instructions on the food coloring boxes on how to just use them to make the coloring for eggs. I thought I’d use them to do a side-by-side coloring test with the PAAS colors, but then I read that it required half the bottle of food coloring for each color! We’ll have to save that experiment for another day. 
If the coloring activity doesn’t last nearly long enough for your kiddos and you find yourself looking for other Easter-themed ideas, head on over to the PAAS website for games and craft ideas.
Is egg coloring a tradition in your home, too?
