Support Make-A Wish with the PAAS/Heinz Easter Egg Decorating App.
Looking to send some Easter cheer? Heinz Vinegar and PAAS have collaborated to bring you the Easter Egg Decorator iPad app (also assessable via desktop or laptop computer). Now through March 31, when you decorate and share a virtual Easter egg with family and friends using the free app, Heinz and PAAS will donate $1, up to $25,000, to Make-A-Wish.
The app is fun, easy to use, and goes towards a good cause. All you do is choose a color you would like your egg to be dyed.
Make the color lighter or more vibrant.
Decorate your virtual egg with paint, glitter, or stickers.
Select an egg stand to display your egg creation.
Now share it with friends and family for a festive Easter greeting and to support the Make-A-Wish foundation!
You can keep creating different eggs and adding them to your basket to send! It is rather addicting! The more you share, the greater the donation to Make-A-Wish!

New PAAS Decorating Kits
Egg decorating is a way of getting the whole family together and letting their creative side shine! As long as I am able to remember PAAS and Heinz Vinegar have been a part of our Easter dying tradition. This year, PAAS has seven new decorating kits to help assist in the egg-tastic fun, including Volcano Explosion, a kit that uses melted crayon shavings to splash on instant color;
Deggorating Doodles, a kit that includes four easy to use food grade markers to draw directly on the eggs,
and Touch of Velvet, a kit that uses double stick adhesives and flocking powder to create cool fuzzy shapes on your Easter egg masterpieces!
I am happy to say we had the chance to share our Easter egg decorating excitement with my daughter’s boyfriend who is from Italy and has never had the pleasure of participating in the crafting event. We used the three kits above and had a blast. I know he will go back to Italy with one more unique experience to remember from being in America.
If you decide to try the kits yourself just remember the Volcano Explosion kit has to be used on hot eggs in order for the shavings to melt. Plus, shaving the crayons takes extra time, so take that in consideration in your planning.
The stickers in the Touch of Velvet kit can be slightly challenging to peel off and young children may need assistance when using them. However, the velvety effect really is egg-tacular and one of my favorite kits!
I recommend getting the PAAS Coloring Cups. They make dying the eggs a cinch and eliminate a lot of mess. Additionally, the cups can be reused next year or they make great containers for crafting and storing things like crayons. Along with the cups come Food Color Tablets, an egg dipper, and a magic crayon to decorate the shells.
No matter if you are 5 or 95 getting together to decorate eggs with the family is a wonderful way of bonding and creating memories! We look forward to it EVERY year!
Fun Easter Egg Fact:
Did you know every year American dye and decorate more than 180 million eggs during the Easter season? How many eggs do you usually decorate? We normally dye two dozen.
Heinz Vinegar Dying Tips:
To help make colors vivid and bright, add one tablet and three tablespoons of Heinz Distilled White Vinegar. Once the tablet has fully dissolved, and ½ cup water and stir. The longer the egg remains in the solution, the deeper the color will be.
Hate cracked eggs? To help keep hard-cooked eggs from cracking during boiling, add two tablespoons of Heinz Vinegar per quart of water before placing the eggs in the pot. Adding the vinegar to the water during cooking also aides in removing the shell of the eggs faster and easier when they are done.
Heinz Distilled Vinegar is available for purchase at most major grocery, drug, and mass market stores at a price of around $1.34 for a 16-ounce glass bottle, and $1.99 for a 32-ounce glass bottle. For more information about Heinz, visit www.HeinzVinegar.com.
Disclosure: I was provided free product samples for review by Heinz and PAAS. However, my opinions are of my own.
I love to dye eggs with my daughter although she does a much better job than I.
Thanks
We’re going to try and dye some eggs this year! I think my grandson will have fun with it!
really cool new kits. we have the cups from 2 years ago so I’ll reuse them, i wish the tablets were sold on their own, much less packaging every year!
The kits look fun and the app sounds great! Thanks for the review!

I never decorated eggs as a child but I think it’s such a nice tradition to start with my own kids.

I still love to color Easter Eggs and I love their Coloring Cups!
I love decorating eggs, and I usually buy a PAAS kit to do so.
Well there’s an app for that! And for a good cause too. I loved dying eggs with my kids. They are grown now so I’m thinking of decorating some wooden ones for fun. Thanks for the review. I will pass the app info to my preschool. So many of them already have iPad minis!

Such a fabulous Easter project! Definitely a new way of dying the traditional Easter egg! We’ll be trying it this year!
love that something we do every year can now not only be a fun family event but also something that can help others
My mom used to always get the PAAs easter egg kits for us when we were little. They are so fun and the colors are pretty!
I used to greet and help make a wish families who would fly into the Orlando International airport 🙂
I remember being a kid decorating Easter eggs. So much fun. Hoping to do the same with my kids this year 🙂
I love dyeing Easter eggs with my sons and daughter but could never figure out how to make sure they don’t crack. Thank you so much for the tip!!!
PAAS has been a staple for our Easter coloring as far back as I can remember! I love products that are tried and true like this year after year.
Eggs are a joy to dye as long that kids know what Easter is about Jesus and not the bunny
That’s awesome that they are donating to Make-A-Wish! My family loves decorating Easter eggs every year together.
I love decorating eggs with my son !! Your family’s eggs turned out beautiful
I love the different effects they have now for egg decorating. PAAS has been a part of Easter my entire life. I have a kit this year for my kids to do their eggs.
We will be using the classic kit on Friday to dye our eggs.
I had never heard to add vinegar to boiled eggs. I will have to try that tip.
My 8 year old daughter and I just bought our PAAS Heinz easter egg dying kit yesterday! This is a great cause they are supporting too!
I used to love decorating eggs when I was a kid. Now I’m motivated to buy one of the new PAAS kits after reading your post! Thanks for all the creative ideas!
You guys did a great job! I love coloring eggs.
I love the volcano explosion look! I have to try this out this year.

Everyone looks like they are having a lot of fun!! Thanks for sharing about the Heinz vinegar egg app!! Great cause too!! I love to color Easter eggs.
So many fun activities!
Love everything, some neat stuff!!! Love Easter!!!!
How pretty your eggs turned out! It makes me wish we were dyeing them this year. We aren’t because our kids are older, but more to the point, we’re in the middle of moving. Bleh…but next year I think I’ll try to create some of the looks you did here!
We love decorating eggs. I especially like the really bright colors.
Your eggs turned out beautifully!
Wow. These are not the egg kits I grew up with but they’re so much better! I always wished I could do the Polish style wax eggs. I’ve tried and failed to sketch the beautiful intricate details
