Prefilled Plastic Easter Eggs are the Springtime version of those nylon net Christmas stockings. Not great, but not the worst possible option.

True laziness is buying colored-before-you-buy-them chicken's eggs. My local convenience store sells them.

I also have issues with any method of home-based egg dying that does not involve margarine tubs, vinegar, and tablets of dye that fizz when they hit the vinegar. Eggs should then be precariously dipped into the dye using a piece of bent wire. Particularly skillful dyers may do bi and tricolor striped eggs using these limited tools. Designs scrawled on the egg in white crayon before dying are also acceptable.

Cups with the dye that releases from the plastic, or worse still, the plastic sleeves that you slide onto the eggs and boil into a sort of Eastery shrink wrap are cheating.

Oh, man. Now I have to hit the store and grab the basic Paas kit.
