Egg dyeing is a fun and educational Easter tradition to start with your little one. Follow these tips and instructions for making homemade and easy designs that your kids will love. PLUS: Learn how to make eco-friendly dye from vegetables!
Age recommendations:
For 1-year-olds:
While they shouldn’t do the actual dyeing of the egg, they can help paint or add stickers. They can also do little things, such as being in charge of handing you the already hard-boiled egg to put in the dye. Be sure to walk them through each step, so they can learn and feel involved in the process.
For 2+:
Older tots can put the eggs in the dye and help with all other decorations. Do not let them handle hot water or the actual act of hard-boiling the gg.
Now, the basics…
Great backyard summer treat for the kids. Frozen fruit pops on a stick.

a lot but I was thinking about age aisroprpateneps. And I think that it (like so many other things) goes back to your child’s temperament and personality and it’ll change on their age too. Some kids might not be phased or even register things that would devastate other kids regardless of their age. Its all about what their personality. I have a niece who is 9 who can’t handle watching animal shows/documentaries because they all die but her little sister who is 3 has no problem watching the sharks eat the seals. Knowing your own child and what their sensitivities are is a more important gauge than anything else.
