What are Easter eggs made of?

Answer 1

Making Easter Eggs Buy a dozen eggs (or whatever amount you want to color) and an Easter egg coloring kit from the store. Hard boil the eggs. Follow the directions on the Easter egg coloring kit to mix the colors with water (most add vinegar, too). Put one egg at a time into the different colors. Remove the egg when the color is the hue you want. Put the egg into the tray that came in the coloring kit and allow to dry.

Answer 2

Many people just hard-boil regular chicken eggs and then dye or color them. Easter eggs can also be made out of chocolate or sugar or other types of candy. Some are plastic, and can be filled with treats it desired, too.

Answer 3

Most Easter Eggs are dyed with food coloring, using a solution of water and vinegar (the vinegar softens the shell and allows the color to adhere to it).

Today you can buy kits that have stickers, color dyes, and other items to decorate your egg with. Some traditions still "paint" their eggs, though this is a tedious way to do it and if you are like me and not very artistic, usually doesn't turn out too well.

If you wish to do it the way I was raised doing it, with food coloring, just go to your local grocery store, purchase a box of food coloring (usually found on the baking isle) and most will have direction on how to correctly mix the ingredients needed to dye your eggs.

Answer 4

Easter egg coloring kits are usually designed to be very simple and easy for children and adults to make together. These kits will have instructions included to help first-time egg painters.
