At least I had the foresight to remove her clothing first!
We did a lot of very unhelpful googling, so I'll save you the trouble: dish soap alone doesn't work, nor do any sugar scrubs. What does work, however, is pouring baking soda followed by vinegar on the dyed area (thanks to "The Geek Professor" website for sharing something that actually works!). The mixture will bubble but it doesn't hurt or burn (we tested it out on Dan first). So, rub that mixture all over your little one's hands just like you would if you were washing them, then rinse, and then wash again with soap (we used Dawn) and the dye will come off completely and Easter will be saved.
You're welcome.
Be back soon!

Thanks for the tips! Cute photos!
ReplyDeleteEllington would probably have more fun removing the dye from her hands than actually dyeing the eggs. I will be using this tip next year for sure ;-)
ReplyDeleteI am not sure which Lilly liked more, but she asked to repeat the dye removing process about six times so I'm guessing she liked it. I also didn't mention that Dan tried to trick me and when we tested it out on him did fake screams of agony like it was hurting him. He is a fool!
