Fun way to color Easter Eggs with your kids

So this past weekend was Easter as you all already knew that. We tried something new for dying eggs and it was so much fun I had to share it with you all.

Here is what you will need - shaving cream, gel food coloring and a pan or separate dishes for each color
 Once you put the shaving cream in the pan have your kids help out so they can enjoy squishing the shaving cream around...I mean really what kid doesn't like to do this? I know my daughter had a blast. Add the food coloring and swirl it around with a butter knife. I suggest adding more food coloring then I did because it'll show on your eggs better then it did on the ones we did. I also suggest using different bowls for each color as well. 
 After the colors are mixed in with the shaving cream let your kids roll the eggs in the shaving cream
    Even my husband and I joined in on the fun
After the eggs are done we set them on a plate and let them sit for 10 minutes
 This was what the eggs looked like after we washed off the colored shaving cream and they weren't very bright so if we do this again I think i'll add more gel food coloring to the shaving cream but either way it was so much fun and my 4 year old had a blast so really that's all that matters. :)
Hope everyone had a fabulous Easter!
