Pinterest is Scotty’s guilty pleasure. He must secretly have an account on Pinterest because he comes up with some stellar ideas!
Last year’s egg dying was an epic failure. I wasn’t about to try that again. So in a pure Colato fashion, we took to grocery store crafts and loaded up a plate of shaving cream and colored that with food coloring.
The idea of this egg dying is that you swirl colors through the shave cream then run your eggs through them, and then let them sit. The color that is in the cream seeps through and dyes the eggs.
While the eggs were “developing” I gave the kids a huge bag of plastic eggs and paints and stickers.
They ended up more colorful than the eggs.
It really does work!
Although, I am not sure it was any cleaner than the original egg dying.
2nd year in a row he’s turned into a smurf.
Please don’t judge us. We live in a great housing community where everyone knows our kids on our street. So I wasn’t TOTALLY embarrassed when my boys ran around out front shirtless and in jammie shorts, and Jake in a helmet like he was prone to falling over.
Easter Egg hunt at the Colato house. Throw plastic eggs on the grass and watch the boys run after them and try and hoard them. Hilarious.
Hoarding at it’s best.
Now I know where to look when something is missing.
