Description

The Pennsylvania Dutch brought the tradition of coloring Easter eggs to the United States. Doc Hinkle’s continues that age-old fun. Created in 1893 by “Doc Hinkle” in a Lancaster County pharmacy, Doc Hinkle’s egg dye is still manufactured by hand in small batches in PA Dutch country. All of our ingredients and packaging is made in the U.S.A.

Unlike ordinary dyes that have to be diluted, PAINT-ON is used directly from the bottle and results in beautiful, bright colors and patterns instead of dull single-colored eggs. PAINT-ON dries quickly and is so easy to use, even a young child can make exciting eggs with lines, squiggles and dots. Includes swab applicators. Colors are red, blue, yellow, and purple and can be combined to make unlimited hues.

3- Pack decorates 15 dozen eggs! Proudly made in PA Dutch Country!

    I was thrilled to be able to order this wonderful childhood memory. Growing up in southeast Pennsylvania, Doc Hinkle’s egg dyes were a annual tradition. The packaging has changed, no iconic mini dye bottles, but still so happy. Shipping
    was very fast too!

    I love the Doc Hinkle Easter Egg Dye. I grew up in PA and we always used this dye. So many memories! I love using it today with my grandchildren. I love the fact that this dye originated in Lancaster county. I do not like the packaging because when you open the plastic containers it is difficult. The dye spills and gets all over your hands plus you lose some of it. I like the glass bottles but they may not be appropriate today but perhaps another type of container could be considered. Thank you!

    I have been using Doc Hinkles egg dye since I was a child. That’s all I ever used. That’s all my children have used. The colors are so bright and there is nothing like painting your own design compared to the other “boring” dyes that you dip. A lot of memories. Thank you! I am so glad that you were able to ship so quickly! I was unable to find it in the stores and you came through for me!

    I am so happy to find Doc Hinkle Easter Egg Dye. Using this amazing dye brings back great memories from childhood. Our eggs are beautiful and unique. There is so much you can do by painting on the dye…from speckled eggs to funky designs to pretty pictures and meaningful words. I was very impressed by the quick delivery, in time for Easter, despite my tardy ordering. Thank you!

    The old screw bottles were easy to open and not messy. The new plastic pots are hard to open and each one spilled all over my hands and the paper towels I had down to protect the table. Why change to something less effective?

    Sadly, the dyes did not produce the colors we’ve loved since childhood, eve when using on hot eggs—pastel colors, at best.

    As usual, our family had a GREAT time with our Hinkle Saturday. I carry on this tradition with Hinkle Egg Dye and will continue this until I am no longer able.
    I must say that I am SO happy i have saved the plastic ( used to be glass) containers through the years as you are now selling the four (used to be 5) colors in smaller paint containers ( it takes two of the smaller to make the one regular sized bottle that you used to sell.) I just wish you were able to sell the regular sized plastic bottles as you formerly did. I don’t mind mixing the yellow and blue to get green , but it takes a LOT of effort to purchase enough dye so I can have all five colors. BTW ALL the children and grandchildren really enjoyed using the Vintage Twirler! I think I have 8 of them now. I never saw them as a child so they must have dated back before I was born in 1948. Sure am happy you brought them back for our adult children and grandchildren to use!

    We have been using these paints since you could buy them in every store in the little bottles. We miss the bottles, but we still prefer to paint designs on our eggs instead of dipping…3 generation family tradition. Wish they still game with 5 colors instead having to mix. So glad we can still find them though.

    You did a wonderful job completing my order. First I was so excited to find you had the egg dye that I had been searching for. No one else carries the dye that I used as a child. I wanted it for my grandsons. I ordered extra so I could share it with others. They too we’re excited and wanted to know where I purchased it. So I have been sharing your website with friends and family.

    Our family has used this dye from Hinkles forever and due to COVID-19 restrictions we’ll be unable to paint eggs in the same place this year… I was able to order the dye online, had it in 3 days and now we’re painting together virtually.

    This is the only way to paint Easter eggs! We’ve been using Doc Hinkle’s since we were kids. It’s much more fun and allows for more creativity as opposed to dunking an egg in a water dye. I’m so glad that this product continues to be made. Thanks John Wright. It’s so nice to keep the tradition of gathering around the table with family members of all ages to paint eggs each year with Doc Hinkle’s paint-on.

    I love this product it is the only Easter Egg Coloring I have ever used…. I am so glad that you sell from your company since I could not find in my area. When my children were growing up they helped me to color the eggs for the Easter Bunny. Now grown and married, they look every year for their “dozen of Dr. Hinkle’s” colored eggs.

    I really wish you would package your dye into an easily usable plastic lidded bottle. I remember years ago I would be able to purchase glass bottles and then later plastic bottles, which I have saved and used throughout the years.
    I am paying twice as much now for the half the amount of dye I get. It takes at least twice the amount you send me to fill up one plastic bottle of your dye. I am almost 75 years old and have been using your product since I was a young child. After I was married I used it with my own children and now I am using it with all my grandchildren. I want our Hinkle tradition to pass on… please help! I only give you a 4 because of this packaging issue.

    I have been using Doc.Hikle Easter Egg Dye for almost all my life – almost 78 years. My children used them and now our grandchildren are using them. THEY ARE THE BEST DYES EVER !!! -They have been mailed to me in 5 states and to my daughter & grandchildren in EUrope. I have. Had family mail to me – but for some reason I cannot find them anywhere…we usually all get together if possible to dye the magic egg- that on Easter Sunday will be used to Buck each other – until we are down to one dyed egg that is not broken!! This year due to me having knee surgery – I decided to order 3 packs one for each house to paint and bring to our house onEaster – Doc Hinkle please keep your dyes selling ……PLEASE !!!!! They are they best -Thank YOU!! Toni
