How to Make Speckled Eggs
Supplies

- Food Coloring
- Boiled Eggs
Instructions
- Pour rice into zip lock bag.
- Squeeze 3 to 4 drops of food coloring in bag.
- Seal bag. Make sure it is completely closed!
- Shake closed bag to allow color to dye all pieces of rice.
- Open bag and place boiled egg inside. Seal bag again.
- Gently roll around the egg in the dyed rice for 10 seconds. (Can you count to 10? Can you count down backwards from 10? Can you count to 10 in a different language?)
- Take egg out and let dry completely.
- Optional: If you’d like to dye your egg using more than one color, repeat steps 5-8 in another bag of dyed rice! Make sure the egg is completely dry when you put it into the new bag.
