Equipment

  • Ziploc Bags
  • Plastic Gloves

Ingredients

  • 2 cups White Rice
  • Food Dye
  • 12 large Boiled Eggs

Instructions

  • You can do as many colors as you want. I did 6 bags with 1/2 cup of rice each.
  • Then I added food coloring to the rice, making sure to add enough color to each bag. Use less color for less vibrant or more color for a bolder look.
  • Place egg right in the bag and roll it around or massage it in the bag. Once egg is colored to your liking place on a lined tray or in a egg carton.
  • Repeat coloring the eggs one by one in each bag.

Notes

Rice - Any type of rice works, just make sure it is dried rice and not cooked. 
Food Coloring - Any type of food coloring can be used. I like to use liquid but you can use gel food coloring if you want. 
Gloves - I use gloves to help prevent the food coloring on my hands but that is optional.
