How To Color Eggs  

Step 1: dissolve dye tablets

Step 2: relieve boredom by going sticker crazy with the little stickers meant for the eggs

*be sure not to forget your nose!

Step 3: add water to dissolved dye and begin coloring

 *just one egg at a time for now

*be very careful

*genuinely enjoy yourself

 *call in reinforcements if needed for egg rescues

Step 4: beam with pride at your first colored egg...

and then re-dip if you aren't quite satisfied with it's color (or if you just think dunking is fun)

*Proceed with more eggs as you see fit

*doubling up in a glass is acceptable for coloring

*shock and awe is encouraged...

as is the pride outlined in step 4

*worry not about huge amounts of colored water splashing about...

someone will surely clean that up for you - you are the master egg colorer after all

Bonus Step 1: dunk hard enough that water splashes out of the glass and onto your face. If not cleaned immediately, you will be left polka dotted - a sign of a champion egg colorer.

Bonus Step 2 - the SUPER colored egg: Toss your egg into any color of your choice.

No need to gentle about it, cracks are welcome!

Continue to throw your egg into different colors.

Fret not about your choice, any color is acceptable.

Then, dunk...

 and dunk...

 and SPLASH...

and collect...

and drop...

 and plop...

and throw...

until an outside person (typically a parental figure) declares your egg "colored enough!"

It will, most likely, be hard to take...

and some tears will just emphasize your dedication.

But, be proud, your egg will stand out from the rest!

 And with the look of your hands, no one will be able to deny that it is your masterpiece.

After an adequate drying time, every single egg will be vibrantly colored - gorgeous and unique.

But your egg... your SUPER colored egg, with it's extra tough love...

will be the masterpiece you dreamed it would be.

Now, go forth and make me proud!
