How to Make Dyed Rubber Eggs

Spring is when we think about Easter, bunnies, flowers, and of course, eggs! We’ve wanted to try making rubber eggs forever, and this time, we decided to give the experiment a fun twist  – Dyed Rubber Eggs.

If you’re not familiar with rubber eggs, vinegar is used to dissolve the calcium shell around the egg, but the membrane holding everything together is left. This makes the egg squishy and rubbery and so much fun to play with! You do have to be careful not to burst the egg, though!

Transform your kitchen into a science lab with these colorful dyed rubber eggs! Whether for a fun twist on dyed Easter eggs or a science experiment, you won’t believe how easy it is! this idea now...

Dyed rubber eggs are a fun colorful twist because the white of the egg absorbs the color and transforms the egg into a beautiful, rubbery egg!

This is a fun activity to do with your kids whether you want to share the science of the vinegar transforming the egg or simply make a fun twist on classic dyed Easter eggs!

What You’ll Need to Make Dyed Rubber Eggs:

  • Vinegar
  • Raw eggs
  • Food coloring
  • Mason jars or other containers

Set your jars on an out-of-the-way counter. You don’t want to knock over the jar and spill colored vinegar everywhere.
Place a raw egg inside each jar. Fill the jar with enough vinegar to cover the eggs. Add about 10 drops of food coloring per jar.

Rinse the extra shell and vinegar from the outside of the egg. Dry carefully with a paper towel. Dispose of the colored water in the sink.

My kids loved rolling the eggs around and squeezing them to watch the egg bulge slightly. They will even bounce a little if you toss them *gently* onto a hard surface.

The kids played with their dyed rubber eggs for nearly an hour. It was fascinating!

My preschooler was particularly entranced with this rubber egg project. She loved gently squeezing the egg and holding them in her hands. She loved the color patterns and the soft texture of the membrane. We found out by accident when she broke one of the eggs that the yolks don’t absorb the color!

I hope your kids enjoy this fun Dyed Rubber Eggs experiment as much as we did!
