Boil your eggs for approximately 15 minutes. Take your egg out to cool. If you want your egg to have an interesting pattern or effect, you can tie string, rubber bands or tape around your egg at this point.

Put 10 drops of food colouring in an old jam jar mixed with the boiled water and a tablespoon of vinegar. Place your boiled egg carefully into the jar on a spoon. Leave until dyed to the correct shade. Take out and dry your egg on a rack.

Decorate your egg with stickers or add designs using felt tip pens. You could create a character from a story or add Easter bunny ears.

Best wishes,
