For decorated eggs, you have a few options. The most popular options are either boiling eggs or blowing them out.
-
Hard Boiled Eggs
Place the desired number of eggs carefully in a large pot. Add enough cold water to completely cover the eggs. Place the pan on the stove on medium heat and bring the water to a boil. Cover the pan and turn off the heat. Let sit on the stove for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes run the pan of eggs under cold water until the shells are cool to the touch. Place the eggs in the refrigerator to cool completely. When using dye for eggs cover your work surface well and your clothes also - the dye will stain! -
Blowing Out Eggs
Wash your egg well. Carefully poke a small hole in each end of the raw egg. Hold the egg over a bowl and blow into one of the holes. The egg liquid should slowly come out the other hole. Sometimes this is a big job, and kids should get an adults help and permission before trying this. Once the egg shell is empty, rinse it off and set it aside to dry.
