Heinz & PAAS Easter Egg App Gives Back to the Make a Wish Foundation

 Heinz Vinegar and PAAS Easter Egg Dyeing Kits have partnered to bring you the Easter Egg Decorator app, available both online via desktop or laptop computer and through the iTunes App Store. Now through March 31, when you decorate and share a virtual Easter egg with family and friends using the free app, Heinz and PAAS will donate $1, up to $25,000, to Make-A-Wish®.





This year, PAAS has seven new egg decorating kits, including Volcano Eggsplosion, a kit that uses melted crayon shavings to provide instant color and Touch of Velvet, a kit that uses double stick adhesives and flocking powder to create fun, fuzzy shapes on your Easter creations!

For the brightest, most vivid colors, add one tablet and three tablespoons of Heinz Distilled White Vinegar to a PAAS Color Cup or a one-cup container. Once the tablet has dissolved, add ½ cup water and stir gently. Also, to help keep hard-cooked eggs from cracking, add two tablespoons of Heinz Distilled White Vinegar per quart of water before placing the eggs in the pot. The shells will also peel off faster and easier when they’re done.

 Our Thoughts

 Its almost Easter and most of us will be spending at least a little time decorating Easter Eggs. Its a tradition that has existed for centuries and Paas has been there to help out for over 130 years. Each year Paas comes out with new and exciting designs that are both fun and safe for kids of all ages.

My children and I received a few kits to review and because its never to early to start having fun, we dyed a dozen eggs this weekend to try them out. The kits are simple to use. You just add the small colored pellets to a mixture of lemon juice, Heinz vinegar and water.  Once you dip the eggs in, they hold the color very well.  After they were dry, we were able to decorate them with markers and designs. They even provided cups to I didn't have to worry about staining my glasses. Even the baby was able to do the sticker part, with supervision of course. Here some pictures of how our eggs turned out. 

The Paas Eggs kits are fun and affordable. Most of them sell for around $2.99-$5.99 a package. You can find them in major drugstores, grocery stores and mass merchandiser nationwide. For even more Easter fun, be sure to check out the Paas Easter Eggs website where you can find games, trivia, craft tips and more. Easter just wouldn't be complete without the colored eggs so head out and pick up a few boxes of Paas coloring kits today!

There is also an app at  www.heinzpaaseaster.com. This fun app allows  you to create virtual egg and send them off to your friends. My children loved it and its actually a lot easy and less messy that doing it my hand. The best part is every time someone shares a virtual Easter egg with family and friends using the free app, Heinz and PAAS will donate $1, up to $25,000, to Make-A-Wish.
