You put a drop (or some drops) of water-soluble dye in it (when you buy the spinner it comes with some, then you have to find some in a kit later). You put a hard-boiled egg in, put the dome on, and then there is a large button on top that is spring-loaded that you push over and over until you are satisfied. It causes the inside to spin round and round the middle and makes a tie-dye effect on the egg. You can use multiple colors together as long as they aren't the ones that will turn brown together. My kids love this, and we've used it since our girls were five years old.Kayrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08735245416162284974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753791058334220460.post-85926347541993857492009-04-03T06:41:00.000-05:002009-04-03T06:41:00.000-05:00I love your bunny cake, Lora!

The kids have a blast with it. I just found them at Wal-Mart of all places, so I bought a second one since it takes so long to pass it around and have turns with all four of them.<BR/><BR/>We loved the pumpkin patch in New Jersey and Illinois, but we never went the two years we were in Illinois or this year when we got here, although the cider mill has taken its place possibly.<BR/><BR/>I think we will be building lots of new traditions in the coming years in our new home state.Kayrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08735245416162284974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753791058334220460.post-24173786960294737682009-04-02T18:10:00.000-05:002009-04-02T18:10:00.000-05:00Great traditions!

Great to see every idea shared this week.Mon Cherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11211999774635996432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3753791058334220460.post-25627658657256152752009-04-02T15:58:00.000-05:002009-04-02T15:58:00.000-05:00Wonderful traditions!

Which is weird, because there is usually lots of wind around here... We really need to try to do that this year!!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for participating.

I feel like we do a lot, but nothing is consistent. I guess that's something to strive for. :)Michelle M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17971436981332903683noreply@blogger.com
