• Be sure that all the decorating materials you use are food safe.
• To have more vibrant colors, use more vinegar.
• The longer you leave the egg in the dye, the darker the egg with be. Do a quick dunk in the dye to get the more pastel "Easter" look.
• Keep the eggs refrigerated as much as possible.
• Put them back into the refrigerator whenever you're not working with them.
• If you hide the decorated eggs, put them where they won’t come into contact with pets, other animals, birds or lawn chemicals.
• After you’ve found all the hidden eggs, throw out any that are cracked or have been out at room temperature for more than two hours.
