Easter - a fun time of year when Mom thinks of great activities and memory making fun to have with her little ones.
Until we get to the dying of the Easter eggs.
"Dye eggs", they said!
"It will be fun", they said!
"You can teach your kiddos all about colors and feel like a superb mom", they said!
Ok, maybe "they" didn't say that but it sounded like a great idea
Except I have a one and three year old and even though I dressed them down to their skivvies AND covered every square inch surface, they managed to dye their hands, arms and stomachs a vibrant array of Easter colors 😂
So how can I solve this? I mean, we have a community egg hunt tomorrow and a full day of festivities Easter Sunday. The little old ladies at church already think Nate's a maniac because he wears his Superman cape every Sunday - bringing him with his tye-dye hands would really get their canes pumping.
I tried a few different methods via the old trusty Google search and nothing worked except for this: baking soda and vinegar.
I put a small pile of baking soda on their hands and then sprayed vinegar from a water bottle. It fizzled and worked its magic like it usually does - I rubbed their hands until the fizzing stopped and then rinsed in the sink -- Ta Da! Clean hands 🙌🙌 The ladies at church can thank me 😉
Nate thought the fizzing was the best part of this science experiment
