FAQS
Product
Are there other craft uses for the egg dyes? Can I make paint for kids? The egg dyes can be used in any DIY craft project that calls for traditional food coloring. Such uses include homemade salt dough, slime or finger paints.
Can you save / preserve the egg dye once water is added? Not really. You can try putting them in the fridge but they will spoil since the dyes are made from all-natural food products and we do not add preservatives. The mixes are only best for 1-2 hours to get the most vibrant colors but used dye mixes can also be used to make playdough (play dough) or for coloring food (egg dye kits are food safe)
How do you get the cool patterns on the eggs like the package art? The eggs on the packaging cover were dyed first, then painted with our Natural Earth Paint. You can also use rubber bands, white wax crayons, or other items as noted on the website for fun designs and patterns
For the natural egg dyes, if they aren’t organic how are they different from regular dyes? Our dyes are made from fruits and vegetables. They are all natural, whereas conventional egg dye kits are made from petroleum based synthetic dyes which have been linked to autism and other behavioural disorders in children and a multitude of other health issues.
Are your egg dyes food grade? Could they be used to dye frosting? Yes, they are actually natural food dyes, they are meant for food and to be eaten.
How long does a unopened packet of dried ingredients last for? Dried and unopened the paint has a 2-3 year shelf life.
