Not too late to dye your eggs (naturally)

Although we painted our eggs this year, we usually dye them for Easter, and last year Oma surprised the boys with a trick I have since discovered on the web: boiling the eggs with onion skins will give them an orange hue, its strength varying with the length of time left boiling. Other plants and spices can create different natural dyes. For instructions, and for other natural coloring suggestions, have a look at this article in National Geographic’s Green Guide.
