PAAS Easter Egg Decorating and Dye Kit, Color Cups, 1 Kit

This year for Easter, I, the grandmother, made all the colored eggs. I am half Greek. I wanted to share the "Egg Bump" contest with my children and grandchildren this year and continue the tradition. They aren't small kids and didn't want to dye the eggs. So I did it myself. I dyed 13 eggs and wrote each person's name on the eggs with the wax crayon inside the box. The colors were bright and cheery. Each person took their egg and held it with their hand wrapped around the egg holding it so the pointed part of the egg was up. The other person holds their egg with the pointy part down and hits the other's point of the egg. They do both sides-point to point and bottom to bottom. Sometimes one side breaks and the other doesn't and sometimes both sides break on one egg. After everyone cracks with another person, then we do the second round. Those who have uncracked bottoms crack with another person with the same. And those with totally uncracked eggs bumps with another egg that it totally unbroken. Those who survive this round repeat the egg bump until there is only one egg that is un-broken. They are the champion for Easter. I encourage them to save the unbroken age and let it sit unbroken for a few years. It turns to like a ball inside that will roll around. I used to think all American kids did this but found out when I was about 9 that it is only a Greek tradition. It is a fun tradition and I am glad I dyed the eggs.
