We are getting in the Easter spirit around here. The warmer weather and coming of Spring just puts us in a good mood. We recently tried decorating some Baking Soda Easter Eggs. If you’ve ever played with baking soda and vinegar before, you know how fascinating kids find it. Check out how we took this traditional kids eggs-periment up a notch by adding paint! Be sure to visit these other fun Easter egg activities as well. You’ll also love these Shaving Cream Easter Eggs.
Baking Soda Easter Eggs
- Baking soda
- Vinegar
- Powdered tempera paint
- Tongs
- Containers
- Hard boiled eggs
**Powdered paint is not safe to consume, so if you peel you eggs and notice any color on them, do not eat them.**

That's really neat! Thanks for sharing with After School Link Up!
Amy says
These look so cool! I'm sure my boys would love this kind of project! But we do like to eat our eggs after we dye them, so maybe we'll have to do another method as well.

Great idea! I wonder if it would work with food colouring instead of powder paint, then they would be edible! 🙂

I know that powdered food coloring used to exist. I don't know if you can still get it anywhere, but if you can get your hands on some it would probably work just as well and it might even produce a bolder color.

Could you use unsweetened kool-aid in the various colors (flavors) as a substitute dye? I use with plain white icing and it works great.
Michelle Rotter says
Also wondering if you could use regular food coloring and mix it into the vinegar? I love trying new ways each year to color eggs, think I just found this years idea! Thanks!!!

Does it work to try an egg in multiple colors?
Vicky says
I have not tried that before.
Elaine says
Can these eggs go into multiple colors rather than just one?
Irene Hutchinson says
This was an amazing experiment for our children. We used food colouring so the children could eat their colored eggs later.

Glad they enjoyed it!

The vinegar combined with the baking soda and powdered paint mixture to form fizzy green bubbles which covered the entire egg.
