The Easter Bunny is coming...

Today we made natural dyed eggs.  Here is the bounty of what we had to make the dyes. We had beets, red chilies, red onion, yellow onion, carrots, spinach and blueberries.

We used beets and chili peppers for the pink/red, carrots and yellow onion skins for orange, spinach for green and blueberries for blue/purple. 

Jake got all gussied up for some dying fun and of course had to wear his bunny rabbit ears. 

The final result was much different than I expected.  The colors weren't vivid but had depth, nothing like the colors out of a tube or a box.  It was lots of fun to do.  Next year we will experiment more with the colors.
