Most Easter egg dyes are water based, and so will re-dissolve in water if given the chance. If the egg becomes moist (even if held in a damp hand), the dye will come off.
In the case of eggs meant to be eaten, this is not a very big deal. In the case of eggs made to be saved, like pysanky, this can be a problem. That is why most pysanka artists coat their finished eggs with a protective varnish.

How do you clean Easter egg dye off of your kitchen table?
It is best to avoid this problem by not getting the dye onto your kitchen table in the first place. When dyeing eggs, cover the work area with newspapers or a plastic tablecloth. If you do get dye onto the table, there are several ways to get it off. The simplest is to use some dish soap and a damp sponge or cloth, and just wash it off. This will often be all you need. If the stain is a bit more stubborn, a cleanser like Soft Scrub works really well. Get the kind without bleach. Test a small inconspicuous area first. If that is successful then you should have no trouble getting it off your table. Be gentle, don't scrub too hard or you will scratch the table. In the worst case, you may need to use bleach. Bleach does not wash the dye off, it breaks the molecule up in such a way that it no longer reflects color. Bleach always works to remove egg dyes, but may damage the table. As before, test it in an inconspicuous area to make sure it can be used safely. WOoden tables may be stained permanently, as the dye can get into the grain of the wood. Plastic or laminate surfaces usually clean up quit easily.

How do you dye foam?
Foam is really hard to dye. You can either paint the dye on or soak it in a bath of dye. Also a good dye that you can try is called dylon dye. You can find a video about dyeing foam here http://www.blogtv.com/Shows/736892/buZEY2NGaeZDbe_vYX&pos=ancr
How do you fix a weeping egg?
How do you fix a weeping egg? Empty Dyed Eggshells: If the egg has already been blown out, but has not yet been varnished or coated entirely with beeswax, try this: # Turn the egg hole-down, place a twist of tissue inside to wick away the moisture, and let it drain for several hours. # Remove the tissue and let the egg dry out COMPLETELY for about a week. # Cap the hole with wax, and dunk the egg back into the final dye color until it looks right. Sometimes this requires double-dipping, and in rare cases even requires a Simple Green wash and more dyeing. It doesn't usually matter if some dye gets into the egg at this point, and even if you seal the hole well with wax, dye will seep inside anyway through the pores. Just be sure to wick it out immediately with a tissue, before it has time to work its way back out through the pores of the shell. Watch closely -- you want to leave the tissue in long enough to drain out the moisture, but not long enough to dry out. If any kind of seal forms, either from a dry tissue, or from leaving in the wax plug, or from the flap of membrane closing over, or even from liquid collecting near the hole, then the gas inside the egg will force excess liquid out through the pores and ruin the dye on the shell. # Dry the egg out for a day before melting off the wax; even a little bit of residual fluid will come out through the pores if the egg is heated too soon. If you do get seepage through the pores in the shell, you can repeat the above process and be more careful. Full Eggs: If you are working with a full egg, weeping through the shell is usually due to the breakdown of the inner membrane of the egg. This membrane normally keeps the white and yolk intact inside the shell. As the egg and its contents age, this membrane can sometimes break down, resulting in amber-colored excrescences forming on the shell of the egg. If you notice these small excrescences beforestarting a pysanka, throw the egg out. It is almost always rotten. If you have already invested time and effort into an egg, it can still be saved if you haven't removed the wax yet. Stop, blow out the egg, and rinse it out throroughly. The contents will be quite foul. (One word: Febreeze.) Let the egg dry out properly (at least overnight), and then plug the hole(s) with a bit of wax, and re-acidify (vinegar rinse) and re-dye the egg. With luck, this should solve your problem. If you're removing the wax when you notice the excrescences, oh, well.....not much to be done. If your pysanka doesn't look too bad, empty it before varnishing, as these lumps can form under the varnish as well and make your egg look even worse.
