How can I substitute coloring easter eggs with a vegan-friendly alternative?
I don’t think there are fake eggs that will stand up to traditional dying, but stores such as Michael’s usually carry wooden and polystyrene foam eggs seasonally. You could put stickers on them, or paint them, or perhaps roll them in glue and glitter. Wow, putting glitter on eggs actually sounds pretty fun. Maybe I should do that.
You can probably find styrofoam, ceramic, or otherwise blank eggs in a craft store. In pagan tradition “Easter” eggs weren’t eaten; they were colored and left outdoors for the fairies on Ostara, or the first day of spring. If you’re concerned about the treatment of the laying hens, you could buy eggs from a local farmer (you may know of houses with “fresh eggs” signs out that probably treat their hens well) and color those, and then give them to non-vegan friends as a treat.
