3 Funny But Totally Serious Things North Dakotans Can Dye Instead Of Easter Eggs

Easter is this weekend, and you might be wincing in pain whenever you look at the price of eggs at the grocery store. It might hurt your wallet a bit to get eggs to dye for Easter this year.

Before you go to the extreme of not dyeing anything at all, maybe consider dyeing something else instead.

Sure, it's not ideal to substitute dyeing eggs with something else, but mixing things up might be a little fun, and hey, it's better than nothing.

I've put together a list of three things you can dye instead of Easter eggs this year.

Here we go.

1. Potatoes

Look, I'm not talking about the big potatoes, I'm talking about the small round ones. It sounds ridiculous, but according to Good Morning America, the smooth surface of these potatoes makes them an easy canvas for PAAS dyes.

The source says you should boil them first, then dip or brush on the color.

2. Rocks

Rocks are hard, smooth, and almost the same as eggs. You would probably need to use some sort of paint to get the color to really show up, but I think this is a great alternative.

3. Marshmallows

Obviously, you won't want to eat the marshmallows once you've soaked them in dye, but Good Morning America says these are a good substitute for eggs.

I imagine if you lose a few around the house, they won't stink, so it's kind of a bonus, right?
