Today, we went to the Whole Foods Market to learn how to dye eggs naturally. The girls each dyed an egg in the color of their choice and made a cute (recyclable) basket for their egg to rest. Our kids were fascinated by the process. They could not believe that fruits and vegetables were making their eggs colorful. The colors were vibrant and beautiful. At the end of the class, the girls were able to fill their baskets with a variety of flavorful organic jelly beans. Yum!
