Crafting Steps: Use the Blendtec blender to puree fruits and vegetables with a bit of water to create natural dyes. Strain the blends into jars, add vinegar to set the dye, and you're ready to color your Easter eggs with non-toxic, homemade dye.

Homemade Playdough with Easter Colors

Create homemade playdough for preschoolers to mold their own Easter chicks and little bunnies, encouraging creativity and providing a fun Easter activity.
