One of the things we lack in society today is creativity. You can grab an Easter egg dying kit from the store and follow the simple directions, or you can get a little more creative with your egg dying. Not only are Easter eggs dyed with rice much less messy, but they allow little ones the opportunity to use their creativity when decorating their eggs.

Using rice to decorate your eggs is also a great sensory station for little ones. Those who have sensory issues, Autism, or another disability will love this sensory idea as well!
