Tie Dye Easter Eggs

It is our last day of Craft Kitchen and Easter coming up on the weekend, so we had to dye eggs.  I mean it is a requisite to dye eggs for Easter.  This time we decided to try this new process where you dye the eggs with silk ties.  It is truly amazing, and super fun.  You have to use 100% silk ties, and the results can be very interesting.  though we did have a couple pieces amongst our mix that we believe were suspicious silks, and didn't turn out too well.  As you can see in the photos some were very colorful, and some were, well, a bit more abstract.  We also made little rabbits and chicks with pom poms and small baskets for them to ride in for our projects.  Some children got really creative with their easter animals.  It was a busy day, and I had hoped to be able to give every child a big hug before they left, because we truly enjoyed spending time with them every week.
