Abstract
The egg handle, egg stands, and drying stands are used in combination to dye and dry the decorated eggs. The egg handle is easily separated from the egg stands which would allow a user to separate an existing dyed egg from the handle while placing a new egg stand on the handle and dye an entirely different egg, while the previous egg is allowed to dry. Two different egg stands examples are provided which allow a user to dye an egg whether in a vertical position or a horizontal position. Additionally, containers are provided that directly fit the egg stand to hold an egg steady and prevent the egg from rubbing the side of the container.

- an elongated body extending between a dipper handle and an egg stand attachment mechanism;
- and
- a detachable egg stand including a base, an egg stand handle extending from the base, and an egg stabilizer supported by the base;
- wherein the egg stand attachment mechanism is configured to repeatedly receive, attach to, and detach from, the detachable egg stand via a user operating the egg stand handle;
- and
- wherein the elongated body includes a first slot positioned on an underside thereof adjacent the dipper handle and configured to attach to a rim of the container while an egg is held on the detachable egg stand to be fully submerged in the liquid dye within the container, and a series of second slots positioned further down the underside of the elongated body to attach to the rim of the container while the egg is held on the detachable egg stand to be selectively partially submerged in the liquid dye within the container.
