Whipped Topping Dyed Easter Eggs
The focus for this month's Pinterest Challenge was all about spring with a particular focus on Easter and gardening. While we don't do much for Easter, my boys have always enjoyed dying Easter eggs. We look for ideas on Pinterest each year for new ways to color eggs.
I saw this pin for dying Easter eggs using shaving cream and thought that looked like a lot of fun. However, I wanted to make sure our eggs were edible afterwards and so we decided to try the same technique using cool whip and food coloring.
We gathered together our hard boiled eggs, a container of cool whip, and our food coloring. I also had gloves on hand for the boys to use so they wouldn't dye their fingers too.
They wanted to try out all sorts of different color combinations so we put just a bit of cool whip onto a small square of waxed paper, they added whatever colors they wanted and used toothpicks to swirl them together... like this:
Then they rolled the egg around until it was colored.
We set our messy eggs aside to try dry in an empty egg carton.
After an hour or two we wiped all the remaining cool whip off the eggs and were left with some very vibrant colors and interesting patterns.

Well that is the coolest thing ever. Will need to remember this!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteWow, they worked really well. What a clever idea.
ReplyDeleteIt really did work quite well.
DeleteLove your eggs they came out looking awesome. Nice hopping with you.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteWe did this last year and it was so much fun! Yours turned out great!
ReplyDeleteThese are actually from last year too and I was informed that no one is dying eggs this year. :(
DeleteOh my, this is such a fun way of decorating eggs!
ReplyDeleteIt really was!
DeleteWhat a cool idea (see what I did there, LOL). But seriously, I have some of this in our freezer, and we won't eat it. So I might as well put it to good use.
ReplyDeleteXOOX

LOL. I see what you did there. That would certainly put it to good use.
DeleteYour eggs turned out really pretty! I would never have thought about using whipped cream!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteOh, this looks fun. I wonder if I can do this with my hubby's shaving cream?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! Just don't eat them afterwards as the shaving cream smell and ingredient will leak through the shells.
DeleteVery neat effect! It's good to know that it works with whipped topping as well. I wouldn't want to put shaving cream on them either! : )
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Deletehow fun. I remember when our kids were little we dyed eggs with dye tablets and vinegar. So boring just placing in the dye. I love how fun your dying the eggs was. Will give this a try.
ReplyDeleteWe used the day tablets and vinegar when my boys were small too but then we began branching out. We've tried all sorts of different techniques.
DeleteCool Whip resulted in some very pretty colors. Great idea using the whip to make them still edible. Here via Classy Flamingos.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I loved that we really couldn't tell how they would look until we wiped all the Cool Whip off.
DeleteHow pretty and unique!!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteGreat idea for switching out the shaving creme so that you could still eat the eggs. Makes for some beautiful marveled eggs.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I thought so too.
DeleteHow pretty! I especially love that you were mindful about using only edible ingredients for decorating! Pinning -Marci @ Stone Cottage Adventures
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThat's such a cool way to dye eggs, and they're really pretty!
ReplyDeleteThose look like a lot of fun. And it's great you'll be able to eat the eggs, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I thought so too.
DeleteThe color of your eggs turned out so pretty! Much prettier than the traditional dipped eggs, I want to try it!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteWhat a unique idea! Makes me want to try it! But since my youngest is 16, my family might think I'm a little crazy!
ReplyDeleteLOL. Yep, they just might. I told my boys I might color eggs all on my own (and they all rolled their eyes at me).
DeleteWhat pretty eggs! My kids would really enjoy this and its great you can still eat them afterwards.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteVisiting again to say thanks so much for linking up with me at #AThemedLinkup 14 for Spring Crafts and Decor, open March 29 to April 10. All entries shared on social media if share buttons installed.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI've heard of using whipped topping for dying eggs, but I've never seen it being used. This is so cool!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's a lot of fun too.
