My son doesn’t like coloring, art projects, etc (some sensory stuff going on there), but he LOVED dying eggs for Easter! I’d love to keep this semi-artsy momentum going. What is something cheap/easy to buy that we could dye in cups? I don’t want to waste eggs!

Not dyed but colored . but also fun for toodler ( mine is 2 year old and he loved this ) On the walk we picked up pine cones from grass ( free) and later colored them at home. Maybe if pine cones are bleached you can soak them in the cup with dye , (like eggs ) for new color
