Dying Eggs

So we decided to dye eggs with Rachel.  She was not patient at all to do this.  She wanted to put the eggs in the color and pull them out.  When we told her she had to wait 5 minutes oh my gosh you would have thought we had killed her.  Each time she had a melt down.  We finally gave her a timer and told her when the timer goes off that means it's time to change the eggs.  We also played blocks to help pass the time in between.

 Trying to teach a 2 year old that you have to wait is not very easy.  She did not want to wait.

 Trying to also show her how to gently put the egg in the dye.  She preferred the splash.

 Just playing with the dye cups.  These were really cool because they are collapsible and the water fits perfectly in these containers.  I was worried we were going to spill them but they actually worked great for what we did with them.

 

 Trying so hard to put the stickers on the eggs but the stickers are sticking to her fingers.

 

 Letting Rachel put some of the eyes and mouths on the eggs.  She was having troubles getting them off her fingers.  So I would barely put them on the eggs and then she would push them the rest of the way on.

Part way through getting all the faces on the eggs.

 Check out my eggs.  They are so cool.

 Our Egg Faces.  So funny and so easy.

 We tried to get a picture of her with the eggs but she would not cooperate.  She was too fast for the camera as she says.

 

So I tried to show Rachel how we wanted a picture of her but she didn't want anything to do with it.  She's actually having a melt down by my feet while Scott's taking this picture of me.  :-)
