Polka Dot Dyed Easter Eggs

First of all, when I saw found reinforcements and stationery stickers on clearance, I had no clue if my idea would work. I had to at least try them for our dyed Easter eggs. In the end, it sort of worked! Most of all, we had fun and I had blue fingers.  Hours after the fun was over, only one egg was cracked and subsequently eaten.

Polka Dot Easter Eggs

  1. To begin, gather your materials. You will need some cooled hard boiled eggs, paper to protect your table (we also put some cardboard under the newspaper) stationery stickers, dye, and a dye hook.  I caved and grabbed the commercial dye. I swore I was going to go au natural this year but, as you busy moms will understand, exhaustion got the better of me.  Here is a wonderful post from Crunchy Domestic Goddess about how to dye them naturally. I previously bookmarked it with the intention of using her recipe.  Polka Dot Easter Eggs
  2. Get everything prepped before inviting the kiddo to the table. Dye is not something you want “help” with.
  3. Add your stickers. While these reinforcements worked ok, they were really hard to get off once dry. Polka Dot Dyed Easter Eggs
  4. This lace pattern was my favorite in making the polka dot dyed Easter eggs. Polka Dot Easter Eggs
  5. My son wanted to make a happy face (this was the egg that broke and turned into part of his lunch). Polka Dot Easter Eggs
  6. The circle stickers were much easier to take off.
  7. Dye your eggs. Polka Dot Easter Eggs
  8. While dying the Easter eggs, add a color mixing lesson too! We added the blue to this pink afterward to make purple. Polka Dot Easter Eggs
  9. Let dry and remove the stickers. Some came off easily, while some did not. Polka Dot Easter Eggs

    My girls want to try this. I saw something similar on another blog. They used tape to make rectangular patterns around the egg. I like the stickers with the hole in the middle. Can’t wait to do eggs this year- will be fun and messy!

    I’ve been reading your blog for a long time…I don’t always comment (shame on me). 🙂 But, I wanted you to know I love all of your craft ideas. I homeschool my 6 year old son and I have a 4 year old as well, and I use your letter of the week crafts with my youngest while my son is practicing his reading. Thank you for sharing all of your ideas with us. I plan on trying the polka dot eggs this week! 🙂

    Cute! We tried letter stickers one year–the result was great, but yes, the stickers were hard to peel off. 🙂

    Very cute idea. Our chickens give us eggs ~ but they’re all brown. It is killing me to think about buying white eggs to dye for the holiday. Any ideas on how to spruce up some brown eggs that will be fun for a 4 year old?
