  1. The White Tooth Fairy Pillow is a riot! So cute and creative. I am always looking for things my son can do to channel his imagination…this giveaway would be wonderful.. thanks so much!!!!

  2. Great idea! I’ve been wanting (and looking) for something like this for my son! I like the tooth fairy pillows, way more creative than my envelopes that I used when I was a kid! Thanks for the giveaway!

  4. I like the Girls Sleepover Autograph Pillowcase. But I know my niece would be ecstatic to receive the Craft Kit you are featuring. She is always crafting and this would keep her busy for hours and hours.

  13. My son and daughter-in-law are grammar school teachers. They would love this for their classes!!!
    Teachers are spending their own money for things like this and kids deserve more.
    Thanks,
    Sandy

10 Fun Ways to Decorate Easter Eggs

If you’re looking to go beyond the dye kits at the store for your Easter eggs this year, I’ve collected 10 fun ways to dye or otherwise decorate your Easter eggs. These are fun STEM and craft experiments for kids and are pretty fun for grownups, too.

One of the most popular ways to dye Easter eggs while still using items from the store is to use natural dyeing methods with vegetables, fruit and spices. I’m sharing links to a few different posts here because people have slightly different methods or recipes for achieving different colors, but the basic procedure explained by Real Life at Home is a good one. 

Check the recipe suggestions at Kaleyann, Mommypotamus and Your Home Based Mom, and let kids raid the kitchen or pick some fun things from the grocery store to try. Make sure to keep good records so you can repeat the process next year!

Another easy method to try is dyeing eggs with food coloring. This can make more vibrant colors than you tend to get from natural dyes, but it’s still an easy method and can be done with things you already have in the house. Check out these tips from Studio DIY to get started.

If you want to use food coloring to color your eggs but want to give them a different look, try this method of dyeing eggs with rice from Kids Activity Zone. Or get a marbled look by dyeing eggs with whipped cream, like these from My Home Based Life. So fun and messy!

For less traditional looking eggs, try dyeing eggs with old silk ties or shirts. The pattern from the fabric transfers to the egg in a unique way that’s a lot of fun to try. Get the instructions from A Thrifty Mom.

Use markers and coffee filters for an easy, pretty, low-mess way to color eggs. Learn how at The Savvy Sparrow. Or bring some nature to your egg decorating with these pretty pressed flower eggs from Little Pine Learners.
