Perfect for a wizard and dragon theme party, dinosaur party, some Easter fun or just a surprize lunchbox treat.  These simple dappled eggs are a snap to make.

Hard boil as many eggs as you want to use. Gather some food colours in the colours you want and a glass or bowl of water for each one.

Gently tap the shell of the hard boiled egg all over cracking it in as many places as you can.

Once the egg shell is cracked all over the egg, place it in a bowl of water and food colouring of your choosing.  Leave the eggs there for at least 15 minutes.

Tip: the longer you leave the egg in the food colouring, the darker the colour will be.

After the egg has had time to take on the colour from the food dye, carefully peel away the shell to reveal your dappled egg.  Easy!
