Well they didn't like my last Easter related post, but I think everyone can relate to this one.

This is pretty straight foreward.

1.Boil Eggs for about fifteen minutes or until they spin.
2.GEt a bunch of food coloring.
3.Get a bunch of cups.(The amount of cups depends on the amount of different colors you have.)
4.Put a Tablespoon of vinegar in each cup with about 4 drops of food coloring.(Adjust amount of food coloring to the shade you want the eggs.)
5.Add enough water to each cup so the egg will be completely submerged.
6.Get some Crayola crayons and draw on the eggs where you don't want dye to show up.
7.Put eggs in cups with dye and let sit until desired color is reached.
8.Take pictures and post.

(Sorry about the crappy picture, I have a really cheap DigiCam!?)

tip: you can use more vinegar (we used a half of a cup or more) and boiling water, and the color comes out much more vibrant!

Use markers and if you are worried about them wearing off use a permanent makers. Easy and smells better than vinegar.
