You will need the following:
Red Cabbage, Vinegar and Curry Poser or Turmeric
YELLOW EGG
1. Put a little bit of curry powder (or turmeric) into a glass of hot water, and mix well. Make sure you have enough water to completely cover the egg.
2. Put a hard-boiled egg in the water and leave it for 20-30 minutes.
(Stir it every 10 minutes or so)
PINK & LIGHT BLUE EGG
1. Chop a leaf of reg cabbage, and leave it in hot water for 10-15 minutes
2. Remove the cabbage using a drainer, and pour the water into a small bowl or glass.
3. For a PINK EGG: Put a little bit (about a teaspoon) of vinegar into the water, and mix well.
The colour immediately turns pink!

4. Put the hard-boiled egg in the colored water and leave it for 20-30 minutes.
(Stir it every 10 minutes or so).
Aren't they cute?
That's it!
How long you leave the egg in the water is up to you. I wrote 20-30 minutes, because that's how long I left the egg in the water. I found out that a shot glass is the perfect size for dyeing a quail egg.
Note: Curry powder and red cabbage may dye plastic containers, so used glass or porcelain containers for this project.
