If you’re wondering if you can use our regular food colors to dye eggs, here’s what we recommend: paint on eggs by mixing ½ tsp water with powder colors and dissolve, or you can “dye” eggs by adding 2 tbsp more water (after first dissolving with ½ tsp water) and dip eggs for a light pastel color. For true egg dyes try our Natural Easter Egg Color Kit, designed to work on egg shells with deep rich colors.
