I have never done this before...so dyeing the eggs is presumably a fun activity ... what do you after? Eat the eggs? Hide them around the yard for the LO to find?
-
Lol, I'm Jewish so I don't have a clue. We use our eggs on the passover table and then eat them. I'd be scared to hide them because if she doesn't find them all it would get smelly.
-
@artbee: haha. I only bought 1 carton of eggs so I was thinking I'd be able to find all the eggs -- or tell her where they are!
-
lol..growing up we just put them on a little egg holder and then tossed them after easter.
-
@sorrycharlie: Really? I always thought people ate them. On Pinterest there's a lot of egg dying ideas that just don't seem edible.... now I'm understanding why.
-
@artbee: i think i got a dyed egg once as a kid and i was too grossed out to eat it. doesn't all the dye get on egg itself too?
-
@artbee: well to be fair, we were super picky eaters (still am). but yeah, my mom was skeeved from the dye (my sister likes eggs and isn't allowed to eat 'em). I never knew people did!
-
@Andrea: Yeah it does. It is kind of gross looking. But there is an egg dying technique that's supposed to do that. http://www.barefootkitchenwitch.com/the_barefoot_kitchen_witc/2009/04/coloring-eggs.html

@sorrycharlie: I feel like it has to be safe to eat. Am I really the only one who eats them?
-
My parents always hid them right before we went on the hunt in the early morning. Once we gather them all, they go back in the fridge and we do sliced eggs on toast with a white cream sauce on top for breakfast. Yum!
-
@artbee: gross!! the red ones look like bloodshot eyeballs.
-
@pelikila: Thank you, I knew I wasn't the only egg eater!
@Andrea: Lol!
-
Yeah, we definitely ate them. You're dying the shell, not the egg itself. And I'm pretty sure when we did it, it was like vinegar and food coloring - nothing too harmful. My parents would hide them around the house before we woke up and then we would hunt the eggs and then get our Easter baskets. In our house, the Easter Bunny was like Santa - he came at night, while we were sleeping.
-
We used to eat them!
-
I eat them. I have no children or young family members near by but I still dye a carton of eggs and then eat them.
-
We always ate them too. My parents never hid the real eggs that we dyed, though. They hid plastic eggs with candy inside
-
We dye them together the night before and then Liam has to search the house for his Easter basket. Once he finds the basket he gets to go outside to find his eggs that we hid.
If you use a natural dye kit they are fine to eat. Mostly I just eat them all though. 
-
We'd have to find them right after church and then they were part of the Easter brunch. We used food colouring on them, so they were safe to eat. And usually it's just smears of colour on the inside, the whole egg didn't turn red or anything.

We always ate them. They usually got made into deviled eggs or put in potato salad. We always did the dying a day or two before but they never were part of the egg hunt. My family only used the plastic ones for that.
