Decorate a batch of hard-boiled eggs with this fun twist on the traditional. Instead of using vinegar, foamy shaving cream makes a perfect medium for swirly food coloring.
Though I don’t recommend eating eggs made in this way, it’s a creative way to get crafty for Easter. (You can swap out the shaving cream for whipped cream if you like! Check out this recipe for whipped cream-dyed Easter eggs from Spend With Pennies.) Kid-friendly and quick, here’s how to dye Easter eggs with shaving cream:
