Do you dye Easter eggs? Some people do and others (I’ve heard) think it’s just a big mess so they avoid it. We are one of those that do. My kids love dying Easter eggs. But what the heck do you do with all those eggs? We hard boil some. My son loves hard boiled eggs. But the rest we blow. What’s that, you ask? We blow them. Seriously. We blow the guts out so I can use the insides when I bake and then we use the shells to dye.If you haven’t blown eggs with your kids before you seriously need to do it. It’s a hoot. My daughter gets all serious and blows like a mad man. Sometimes she just spits all over the place. Other times she blows so hard her face turns red and she starts to shake. Either way, I’m on the floor laughing. But she does it!
It’s really easy. Just poke a small hole in each end of the egg and blow!
So we got out all of our eggs and our Easter egg dye and got to work. But then I saw these adorable Dye-ving Dudes in the current issue of Family Fun and I quickly gathered the materials needed to make them. Totally cute, right??? The tutorial is found here.
We couldn’t help it. They were calling our name.
I’m linking up at the great linky parties on my sidebar!
I love that you tried this idea! I have it torn out of my FF magazine, but haven’t given it a try with the kids yet. Yours turned out so cute!
Adorable!! Where is that magazine?? I’ve got to go hunt it up (in my daughter’s room, I am sure! 😉 and find the directions for this! Thanks for sharing!
ha ha Oh I love those. they are so cute
Those are adorable!!!!! We usually dye a dozen (hard boiled) eggs. We like to eat them plain or on salads.
Those are so cute! We were never allowed to dye eggs as kids, my mom thought it was wasteful, these look like so much fun, i might just get an extra carton and make some!! 🙂
What a kick! These turned out great, Erin!
Love these, now that my daughter & I have seen them, we have to make them!

Ehehehe….awesome pics. A great way not to waste any eggs.
This is such a cool idea for Easter eggs, so much better than just dyeing them.
this is such a great idea and lots like lots of fun. My grandma used to blow eggs out and then paint the shell for Easter but she doesn’t do it anymore. Oh, how I miss childhood.
Love the Easter printable you kindly shared with us.
Ok that’s it your amazing and I love you … lol
I’m doing a pool party for my son’s birthday and these would be perfect to put on the table for the kids to take! I love it! Thanks my dear 🙂
Oh goodness how cool, lot’s of fun fun stuff for my boys. Thanks so much!!
I’m your newest follower 😉
i’m really excited by this post. i’ve never blown eggs, and you’d better believe i’m not waiting until i have kids of my own to try it out! also, scuba egg men are adorable. 🙂
oh yes, they are the cutest little things. Too funny about your daughter blowing out the egg, very cute.
OH that is FANTASTIC! What a brilliant idea! I’ve never actually tried the egg blowing – must do that with my kids this year – sounds like lots of fun!
I would love if you came over and linked this project to my weekly Round Tuit party at:

Your eggs are so cute and funny! We dye eggs in Greece but with food friendly colors, because we eat them!
So, so cute! Love this idea.
So cute your eggs!!! Love them! I used to paint easter eggs when I was a child… last year I painted some eggs with my 7 years old cousin. It was very funny!!!
Oh my heck..these are so freaking cute!
Makes me smile! :0)
I haven’t ever seen eggs like this. What a hoot.
These are SOOOO cute! Thanks for sharing the smile!

I love this! When I was a kid I heard about blowing eggs and made my grandfather do it with me haha. I thought he was going to pass out! These are so adorable though… definitely a great family activity!

Hi!
I recently came across your blog and wanted to take a moment of your time to discuss an issue I think all adults value, our childhood education. I have written a few articles on childhood education, and one I think you would specifically be interested in- cooking with children! That being said, I was wondering if you would like to read it and hopefully post it on your blog? It is purely educational, not promotional for Primrose. Let me know what you think and I can send it along if you’d like. I am also interested in any advertising options you may have available. Thank you in advance for your time!
I look forward to hearing from you,
Warm regards,
Emily Patterson

Those little eggs crack me up – haha! ; )
Thanks for linking up with us. : ) Have a great weekend!
super fun idea…these guys are too cute 🙂
WOW!
We made these when I was little. i made them with my three younger brothers. My brother passes away when he was 17 in a car accident. It’s little memories like these that i will hold on to forever.
Thanks for reminding me of a beautiful memory!
I wouldn’t have remembered it had I not seen this post.

You’re creating great times, and memories for your kids. Don’t stop!
