Easter Egg Fun

Okay, I know this doesn't have a ton to do with fitness, but I thought it would be fun for those of you with kids, nieces, nephews, etc. :)

I found a cool site that gives tons of fun food color combinations to dye easter eggs. They have 30 different, fun colors that only require vinegar and food coloring. Also suggested was cutting an empty paper towel roll to hold the eggs while they dry. Fun, cheap ideas, is there anything better?
