And you dont have to buy one of those fancy pre-packaged kits either. The basics of egg-dyeing only require a package of multi-color food coloring, vinegar and boiling water.

Just mix one-half cup of boiling water with a tablespoon of vinegar and 10 to 20 drops of food color in a cup, depending on the desired color. Repeat for each color.

If you are feeling more ambitious, you can explore online for other techniques such as sponge painting, crackle color and even tie-dyeing.

For those of you with kids, Kissimmee and St. Cloud both have Easter egg hunts scheduled for today (Saturday).

My friends in the know, like Andrew Sullivan, Osceola News-Gazette staff photographer, brings his daughter to these insanely popular events, despite the bedlam. I guess that is part of the fun.

In St. Cloud, the Eggstravaganza (there should be a law or something forbidding Egg in words like this) will be held today from 9 a.m. until 11 a.m. at Stephanie Leigh Rothstein Memorial Park.

St. Clouds event has gotten so large it has been moved from Peghorn Nature Park to the Stephanie Leigh Park at 2701 Missouri Ave. Some 8,000 plastic eggs will be hidden with four age groups hunting for eggs. Three-year-olds kick things off at 9:15 a.m.; 4 to 5-year-olds get their turn at 9:30 a.m.; 6 to 7-years at 9:45 a.m. and 8-9 years is at 10 a.m. Special Easter baskets will go to the child in each group who finds the golden egg.

The cost is $2 per child and it includes the hunt, crafts and face painting. Refreshments and a photo with the Easter Bunny are available for additional cost.

Kissimmees Easter Eggstravaganza kicks off at noon (If you hop to it from St. Cloud, your kid can go to both events) and continues until 3 p.m. at Shingle Creek Regional Park (2491 Babb Road).

The Kissimmee event has a $5 admission but it includes the Easter egg hunt, face painting, bounce houses, games, candy and raffles. Call 407-518-2346 for more information.
