Reviewing: Walmart Egg Coloring Kit
Purchased at: Walmart     Price: $0.72 USD

Easter is over, but there will be another one, so I thought Id review the egg coloring kit we used this year. I wanted something generic, just a simple, regular coloring kit that would make me some evenly colored eggs. So, ignoring the overwhelming variety of all kinds of fancy designs, I picked Walmart Egg Coloring Kit for the tremendous price of 72 cents.The kit includes 6 coloring tablets red, orange, yellow, green, purple, and blue; 1 egg dipper, 32 stickers, an egg drying tray, 9 decorative paper strips to put around eggs, and a memory game Id say not bad for the price. Detailed instructions on the back of the box explain that you can go for pale, classic, or rich colors by dissolving the dye tablets in water, lemon juice, or vinegar (respectively). I wanted rich colors so I used vinegar. After dissolving the tablets, I dipped my cooled, hard boiled eggs in the coloring solutions, held them there a little and then set them to dry on the tray. I did 12 eggs, but I could probably do a hundred with this kit, it is that economical.

The eggs turned out very nice, I loved the colors and how easy the coloring process was. The only thing I dont like is that the colors will start staining if the finished eggs are exposed to moisture.

This does sound like a lot for only 72 cents. Made in China, I suppose?

We always buy a more generic type of dye kit and have had great luck but I never thought of looking for the Walmart brand.

Never would have thought of a Walmart brand. We usually buy paas! I'll keep it in mind next Easter

Knew about the water and vinegar but never knew about lemon juice. Interesting. Like you I avoid all the fancy coloring kits, just give me a good old fashion colored easter egg! Thanks

That is a great price. I remember the horrible disasters I had as a kid when me and my family would try to color eggs lol.I don't think any of them ever looked good. I will be trying it with my daughter next year and I hope to have better luck now, haha.
