How to make Instant Pot Silk Tie Dyed Easter Eggs!
One of the main things that I love about Easter is the COLORS! The colors of Spring and Easter are always so bright and fun! Making dyed eggs is a fun way to celebrate Easter and make unique, colorful eggs. With this how-to, you will learn how EASY it is to make your traditional tie-dyed Easter eggs in the Instant Pot!
This craft is fairly simple to make. It is fun family project, and kids are free to use their imaginations and play with eggs! My kids love to play with eggs, for some reason. There is always that challenge to NOT break the eggs. Of course, if one does break, it will be messy, but giggles will ensue. As with any Instant Pot recipe, make sure kids do not participate in taking off the lid because they could get burnt by the steam. That is something parents and adults should do themselves!
