Here's a fun way to color Easter eggs using all natural ingredients. The longer the eggs are in the coloring the darker they will become.

(Note: This is a fun activity, but since it requires using a stove or a microwave oven, please have an adult help you.)

Golden Brown
Simmer the brown outer skins of onions for 5-10 minutes. The more skins you use, the darker the color.

Blue
Mash blueberries - fresh, frozen or canned - in a pan with a little water. Simmer 5-10 minutes. For red use raspberries!

Lilac
Dip eggs in cold grape juice. For a darker shade, simmer the juice for 5-10 minutes.

Pale Green
Chop and simmer the green tops of carrots. For orange, grate the carrots, and simmer for 5-10 minutes.

Chocolate -colored
Dip eggs in hot coffee straight from the coffeepot.
