If you are blowing out your eggs for Easter make sure you don't waste them.  Here's a great recipe to enjoy your eggs! Safety Note

Crafts & Craft Kits

Easter Cookie Coloring Kit (Byrd Cookie Company)  Here's a fun treat that you can buy your grandkids.  This great kit can be done together before Easter or given as a gift.  The Easter Cookie Coloring Kit comes with four shortbread cookies printed with confectionery ink and includes two edible ink markers for coloring and personalizing each cookie.  They come packaged in a cute little tin.  "These cookies were as much fun to make as they were to eat," reported the mother of our two testers.

Easter Hunts & Treats

This year you can do an Easter Egg hunt much faster thanks to the fun new kits made by Willy Wonka's candy factory.  Now, you don't have to stay up past midnight filling dozens of eggs.  These pre-filled egg kits cost just $4.99 and contain 11 eggs filled with SweeTARTS®, LAFFYTAFFY® and NERDS®, plus one ready-to-fill WONKA GOLDEN EGG.  We received some to review and the kids have been having Easter Egg hunts ever since!    You don't even have to wait for Easter, you can use them when the weather is nice to encourage outdoor play, you can send them to school as a treat, you can empty them and use them with your toddlers for eye-hand coordination.  My 13-month old has been having fun putting the colored eggs into a basket over and over again!

If you're looking for a true "Egg" then you'll want to check out the Wonka Large Egg which is a large hollow egg filled with SweeTARTS®.  They fill cravings for both chocolate and candy!  Click here to find a retailer near you.


Safety Note:

Since some raw eggs may contain salmonella, you must use caution in blowing out the contents to hollow out the shell for decoration.

Use only eggs that have been kept refrigerated and are uncracked. Make sure hands and utensils are clean. To kill bacteria that may be present on the surface of the egg, wash the egg in hot water and then rinse in a solution of one to two teaspoons of bleach to a half cup of water. After removing the contents of the eggs, refrigerate them immediately and use within a day or freeze for later use. Be sure to thoroughly cook the eggs. USDA
