Friday Fun…Real or Plastic?

Kathy, It was always plastic, reusable eggs. We would hide candy, toys, stickers, riddles for bigger surprises. Always fun and no mess!

Hello Kathy - I can't recall the last time I dyed an egg.  However, I have been invited to two Easter celebrations so I imagine there will be some tossed, rolled, hidden and maybe a few consumed at these events.  Did someone say chocolate-filled too?  

Good morning, Kathy... living most of my life in large cities, we never had Easter eggs hunts. I did used to dye eggs for Easter, but now for the two of us, I don't bother any more. I just decorate my house and yard for Easter.

Good morning Kathy. At the price of real eggs this year most are opting for the plastic ones available cheap at the Dollar stores. Is this the new trend? We'll see. Enjoy your day. 

I have not colored eggs in years (since my boy was little). We need to take out a mortgage to do a couple dozen eggs in 2025.

We used to use plastic easter eggs, the boys loved the hunt, sometimes a candy sometimes a dime or nickel or if very lucky a quarter.

Hello Kathy, I always did real Easter Eggs in the past and love to color them but do not do them anymore since no kids and grand kids are to old.

Kathy, while my daughter was growing up, we always dyed Easter eggs, and I enjoyed that too.   Seeing how much creativity you could come up with was fun.

When I was a kid, we did dye eggs but I have not done so since then.

My preference was the chocolate eggs with coconut centers.

Kathy:

We've dyed lots of hard boiled eggs over the years with our 2 daughters and now the grandkids. But no grandkids visiting this year so no egg dyeing or egg hunts. We will probably pull out the wooden (painted) and plastic eggs for an Easter Dinner centerpiece but likely won't do any other decorating.

Thanks, Kathy Streib! I love the nostalgia of dyeing real eggs—nothing beats the fun of that messy tradition! I have to agree, I much prefer the real deal over plastic when it comes to Easter eggs!

I haven't thought about dying Easter Eggs in many years Kathy!  I used to love doing it as a kid and it was my 'job' to decorate a 'bunny tree'.  My Mom got me started on that and it went on for many years.......lots of good memories!!  Hop to it!

Kathy we never did the real eggs, it was always the plastic ones.

Kathy Streib - I have fond memories of coloring Easter Eggs at my mom's kitchen table with my siblings. It was fun dipping the eggs in different colors and using wax to write something on the egg. That's how I celebrated the holiday with my kids too!

Thanks for the memories!

I can't even remember the last time that I dyed eggs, but I did see a good article from the Weston A Price Foundation about using natural dyes, haha.
