I love Holidays. Each has their own special traditions, and Easter is no exception. Since I can remember, my family always dyed Easter eggs & I have fond memories of doing it. My dad always asked me to make him the bluest egg possible & even though we don’t spend Easter together anymore, I still do- just for the sake of tradition.
Another Easter egg tradition is using PAAS egg dyeing kits! As a kid we never strayed because the quality is exceptional & the price is very low. & I love how the Original kits still come with the same items: stickers, EggArounds {the wrappers you shrink on}, a metal dipping spoon & the magic white crayon! {That said, PAAS also makes several of alternative kits such as a Tie Dye kit, “Rockin’ Designs” based on the Ed Hardy designer trend, and even a “Go Wild”!” kit full of animal prints.}
I’d also heard of adding Heinz Vinegar to the dye tabs to make more vibrant colors, but had never tried it. Well, this year I did & it showed! It’s easy, too- instead of adding water to the tabs, you just add 3 tbsp. of Heinz Vinegar to each tab& let it dissolve! You can also help keep hard-cooked eggs from cracking by adding two tablespoons of the Vinegar to the water before placing the eggs in the pot.
We dyed eggs last year, but only Justin & I did because Shane was too young still. Last year we just let him fingerpaint & put stickers on plastic eggs, which was fun, but this year he was old enough to actually dye eggs with us! He did a couple {all green, his favorite color} & then got bored, but it was still fun to start a tradition with him that I’ve cherished for so long.
Right now, Heinz & PAAS are teaming up to give back. They have a new Egg Decorator app for iPad, and for every egg “dyed” & shared on the app until Easter {April 8th}, Heinz &PAAS will donate $1 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation!
It’s super easy to use & a lot of fun- in fact, Shane liked decorating the virtual eggs more than he liked dyeing the real ones! {That’s a 2 year old for you!} You can download the app by searching for “PAAS/Heinz” in the app store or by clicking here.
{I may have helped with this one. Can you tell?}
You can find PAAS egg decorating kits at most major grocery, drug and mass market stores for $2.99-$5.99 & Heinz Vinegar can be found at retailers nationwide for $1.34-$1.99!
What are your Easter traditions?
Susie’s Note: I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Heinz and PAAS and received a Heinz Vinegar bottle, a PAAS Egg Dyeing Kit, and a promotional item to thank me for taking the time to participate.
