The practice of decorating Easter eggs started long, long ago. The Zoroastrians painted eggs for Nowrooz, which falls on the Spring Equinox. It was a symbol of new life - Such as when a chicken hatches from it's egg. Also, during a Jewish Seder, to symbolize sacrifice, a hard-boiled egg gets dipped in salt water.

I used the Easter eggs kit from a store. I know it contains dye, wires to hold the eggs to dip and a rack. I started in grade school.
