I’m not crafty. Not with decorating, not with kid activities, and definitely not with food. But when I saw this idea in Family Fun magazine, I had to try it. All you do is decorate hardboiled eggs to look like bunnies and chicks with a few on-hand ingredients. Tasty and cute!
Although the recipe called for black sesame seeds for the eyes, I thought mini chocolate chips worked just as well (and they certainly made the girls happy!). The “feather tufts” are chives, and the nose is a carrot.
The bunnies (or long-eared mice, depending on how hard you squint), gave me a little more trouble. The recipe said to use chives for the whiskers, but I couldn’t get them to stay in the egg properly, so I resorted to broken toothpicks.
I thought the little rooster was cute. I only did one of him, using carrot instead of bell pepper for the feet and cockscomb, but he was probably my favorite!
Cock-a-doodle-do to you!
What a great activity and memory making experience for the girls.
You may need to repeat this every year, it’s so cute!
oh my goodness those are priceless!!!!! I may just have to steal that idea! super creative!!!!
How cute, and wasteless! I boiled up a dozen eggs today for the girls to dye, but once dyed, they’re not edible. This is such an awesome idea! You did a wonderful job. Love your rooster!!
