Easter Eggs



This year I tried a new way to dye our Easter eggs: use wire whisks to hold the eggs. The handles made them easy for little hands to hold the whisks and the eggs didn't bounce around and crack.

Here are some pictures of our little people dyeing eggs. Georgia, at age 3, was fantastic at it. Theo, at 22 months, first put the dye tablet in his mouth and then thought he needed to "stir" the eggs in the dye which created a large mess. Regardless, both had a great time and want to dye more. Better yet, this egg dyeing business encouraged Georgia to eat her very first hard boiled egg. She liked it so much that she had two!

I haven't done any other Easter activities with the kids. We have a 4 week old and I am still recovering from surgery. I am certain that next year we will do all the bunny related art projects and studying of rabbits which are so pertinent to the season. We do plan to go on an egg hunt at the zoo, so will use that as a social opportunity for both and emphasis on colors and counting for Theo.
