We had our annual Easter egg-dying get together. There are no rules. The kids just grab a boiled egg from a pile. They can dye or decorate it any way they choose! Moms get involved too! It's fun.
This year my sister-in-law hosted our Eggstravaganza! She provided plain white handled bags for the kids to design themselves. We finished the event with a little egg hunt.
Every year, I tell myself that I'm going to study-up and learn some new and unique egg-dying tricks before the Eggstravaganza. :) I didn't do it this year, but I'm going to be prepared for next Easter! So far, we use the tried and true method of writing names and drawing patterns on the egg with a white/clear wax crayon before dipping it into the dye.
We also use a trick learned from a great aunt in which the egg is wrapped in several rubber bands and then dyed.

Also, another Aunt used to wrap twine around the boiled eggs, putting leaves, blades of grass, etc under them. I guess anything that would stay close to the surface of the egg and keep the dye away would work...
