One of the most fun things to do over Easter, as it relates to family activities, is dying eggs. And the past few years we have seen an explosion in egg creativity. From making characters like minions and ninja turtles to dyed deviled eggs or even our marbling easter egg tutorial, there is no lack of “what you can do with an egg” going on out there. And before you shake your head with “what is wrong with just dying them”- there is nothing wrong with that!

My family sits around the table every year with bowls full of easter egg dye and the house smelling like vinegar and its some of the most fun we have all year. But it’s also fun to get extra creative and my kids never stop loving the ideas or reasons to craft with their parents.

Now this year one thing that has been going around are shaving cream eggs. And I think it’s a totally fun idea! We use shaving cream in a variety of crafts around here, including shaving cream paint and a shaving cream slip and slide we made last summer, but I have a hard time putting a non-edible material on eggs. I know, I know, it’s totally mental but picking up an egg that smells like my husband’s face weirds me out. So we instead put our heads together to come up with kitchen-friendly ideas that you can coat on your eggs and not be afraid of.

Two things we thought of were sour cream and whipped cream. Both I think could work ok, but we settled on testing out whipped cream because everyone loves to lick their fingers.

 

 

Now using whipped cream with dye is totally fun.

You get to roll the eggs around nad create a pretty good rainbow mess and its kid friendly. That being said, it won’t yield the brightest eggs you have ever done so don’t expect that. Phoenyx loved doing this and it was super simple clean up since we added the cream and dye in a pan.

 

Whipped Cream Dyed Easter Eggs

You need

• Food coloring
• Whipped Cream
• Eggs

We used spray whipped cream so I am not sure if there is a consistency different in using the bowl kind. I do know the canned kind is more expensive, its just what we had on hand. Put down a good amount of whipped cream and drop food coloring dye on the cream. Then simply roll the eggs around and enjoy!
