    Here's an interesting article about dying Easter eggs safely. If you read what food dyes are made of, I guarantee you that you won't want to use them anymore.

    I remember doing some of these when I was little. I know you can use kool aide and natural food dye or paste colors.

    I have used both red onion skins and yellow, and neither makes the eggs smell like onions. The skins don't smell.
