It was fun, but he lost interest fast. He did enjoy hunting for them, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-dye-eggs-with-lo#post-1567193 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 10:07:12 +0000 Smurfette 1567193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: We only dye hard boiled eggs.......how do you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-dye-eggs-with-lo#post-1567192 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 10:07:11 +0000 autumnlove 1567192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>15 months </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-dye-eggs-with-lo#post-1567189 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 10:06:18 +0000 looch 1567189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumn865: haha, path of least resistance! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-dye-eggs-with-lo#post-1567180 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 10:03:30 +0000 mediagirl 1567180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not yet, she wouldn't "get" it yet so we're not doing it yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-dye-eggs-with-lo#post-1567177 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 10:02:51 +0000 autumn865 1567177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: we think alike! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-dye-eggs-with-lo#post-1567174 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 10:02:23 +0000 autumn865 1567174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our LO is 19 months so I'm not sure. I keep picturing cups of food dye vinegar being kicked around the kitchen in a tantrum fit. I want to do a fun Easter project though so was thinking of maybe dying the eggs myself and once they're dry DD can decorate them with mini stickers or something less messy. I'll let you know how it works out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-dye-eggs-with-lo#post-1567170 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 10:01:06 +0000 looch 1567170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is three and we still haven't done it. I was thinking he could totally manage to put stickers on eggs, but then I'd have to hard boil them, and it's not worth it to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-dye-eggs-with-lo#post-1567168 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 10:00:48 +0000 chopsuey 1567168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haven't done them with M yet.. thinking I'll wait til next year :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-dye-eggs-with-lo#post-1567166 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 10:00:12 +0000 blackbird 1567166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@smurfette, hell no, lol. I will fill and hide some plastic eggs in the yard--E loves picking stuff up and putting them in bags/baskets/etc, but I'm not dying real eggs with her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-dye-eggs-with-lo#post-1567162 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 09:58:54 +0000 Katrocap 1567162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@smurfette: My DS is 15 months and I was wondering the same thing (about being a lazy parent, too!). :happy: Thanks for posting this.</p> <p>@mrs. pen: The shaving cream/whipped cream with food coloring idea is brilliant! I'm definitely trying that one day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-dye-eggs-with-lo#post-1567157 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 09:56:43 +0000 JerricaBenton 1567157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm definitely not doing it this year! With LO at 14 months, I can't deal with that kind of mess. Maybe not for a few years, honestly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-dye-eggs-with-lo#post-1567107 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 09:40:53 +0000 Smurfette 1567107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: @blackbird: Ok good! I was wondering if I was just being a lazy parent! I will just have my parents hide some eggs for her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-dye-eggs-with-lo#post-1567100 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 09:39:29 +0000 blackbird 1567100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha, i would not dye eggs with a 1 year old unless you use washable dyes :) </p> <p>E *loves* hard boiled eggs, though! I did dye some peeled eggs for her birthday party, which was colorful and fun :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-dye-eggs-with-lo#post-1567068 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 09:27:29 +0000 mrsjyw 1567068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We'll be skipping the mess this yr (17 mths)! Egg hunt instead! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-dye-eggs-with-lo#post-1567066 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 09:27:06 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1567066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha! I saw someone on facebook yesterday posted that they dyed eggs with shaving cream and food coloring - you just coat the eggs in it and then let it sit... I would use whipped cream so he could eat it too lol! I think I might try that later this week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-dye-eggs-with-lo#post-1567053 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 09:22:57 +0000 bushelandapeck 1567053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was before 1....maybe 10 mos? We didn't separate the yolk/white and he did just fine. He's not a fan of them now though (20mos) so I don't give them to him anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-first-dye-eggs-with-lo#post-1567043 Mon, 14 Apr 2014 09:21:02 +0000 Smurfette 1567043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was thinking about doing it with R but at 13 months, probably is going to just be a horid mess. </p>
