Easter eggs
I really like to decorate Easter eggs. The problem, though, is that I can’t bring myself to break the shells and eat the eggs after I’ve decorated them! They are just TOO PRETTY to break! What a dilemma that used to be when I was a child. It would break my heart, and besides I didn’t even LIKE to eat hard boiled eggs! But when I got older I learned that you use hard boiled eggs to make egg salad (and I LOVE egg salad sandwiches!) and devilled eggs (also a big favorite of mine!)
So I let the kids decorate the eggs that will get eaten, and I save my decorating energy to eggs that will last much longer – ceramic or papier mache, or some other type of more-permanent surface. I like to paint on them, or decoupage. I really enjoy letting my creative juices flow with that sort of thing!
