According to Organic.org, “Many food colorings contain color additives such as Red No. 3 and Yellow No. 5, which, according to a 1983 study by the FDA, were found to cause tumors (Red No. 3) and hives (Yellow No. 5).” In addition, food dyes have also been linked to causing issues like hyperactivity, attention deficit disorder, and allergic reactions.
By making your own Easter egg dye you never have to worry about harmful ingredients, and we think it’s a whole lot of fun too! Gathering, mashing and boiling plant-based ingredients is far more exciting to children than simply dropping a tablet in a cup. The process also provides a great opportunity to teach kidlets about being cautious of what they put into their bodies, and teach them how the earth offers many wonderful alternatives to synthetic store-bought products.
