Tactile Tie-Dye Easter Egg Coloring






Browsing through Pinterest recently, I found several blogs explaining how to color Easter eggs with whipped topping. Some instructions said to use shaving cream, but don't. Just don't. Let's keep the ingredients edible for safety reasons, shall we? :) 

Rather than just plopping hard boiled eggs into colored water that he can't see, I thought this would be a much better way for Cody to dye Easter eggs. He may not be able to see the colors, but he can feel the hard boiled eggs and fluffy whipped topping. 

Should you decide to try out this method, here are the ingredients you'll need... 




as well as the instructions in seven easy steps...

Step 1- Hard boil your eggs. 

Step 2- After they have chilled for several hours, submerge the eggs in a bowl of vinegar and let them soak for at least 10 minutes.




Step 3- Pat the eggs dry with paper towels.

Step 4- Put a large spoonful of whipped topping into each muffin tin and add the gel food coloring.

Step 5- Swirl gently with toothpicks. Try to avoid overmixing. We don't want the eggs to be all one color. 





Step 6- Insert an egg into each tin and cover it completely with tie dyed whipped topping. Let eggs sit in the tins for about 10 minutes, for vibrant colored eggs. If you'd like your eggs more pastel, shorten the time. 






Step 7- Remove eggs and rinse in cold water. Let dry on a paper towel. Refrigerate until ready to hide or eat.

Egg Hunt for Visually Impaired Children



When we lived in Oregon years ago, Pacific Northwest Bell use to organize and provide special beeping egg hunts like the one in this video. Cody loved to participate.

Ah...the good old days. I kind of miss them.

Raisin Fascination

I am use to Cody reciting random words and phrases. Sometimes they make sense, sometimes they don't. For the past couple of days he's been blurting out "raisin pizza". When I asked Cody why he's saying that, he said "because pizza looks a lot like raisins". (Keep in mind, he can't see.) Out of curiosity, I searched google for raisin pizza and actually found this...


Now he's changed from saying "Raisin Pizza" to "Raisin Easter Eggs". I'm not even going to try googling that.

Good grief! I may never understand what goes on in his head.
