Easter Eggs

“ The neighborhood Easter egg hunt is today, ” Mom said. “ I can’t dye eggs because Rover has a vet appointment. But Aunt Judy is upstairs if you need help. ”

Mom left the kids everything they needed. “ Mom boiled these eggs, so they won’t break, ” Emmy said.

Oliver looked at the food coloring. “ We only have red, blue, and yellow, ” he said. “ We can mix those to make other colors, ” Emmy said. “ Blue and yellow make green. ”

“ Blue and red make purple, ” Harry said. The kids added food coloring to water. Harry and Emmy quickly dyed some eggs.

Oliver thought for a while. He couldn’t decide which colors to use. “ We’re almost finished, Oliver, ” Harry said.

“ What?” Oliver cried. “ Do we have any more eggs?” He opened the refrigerator and found some more. Oliver dipped them in every color until they turned gray.
