Keepin it *Real*: Awesome Egg Ideas!

This post was most recently updated on September 23rd, 2019

Seems like more and more these days, “decorating eggs” means buying a bag of ‘Made in China’ coloured plastic eggs and a pack of foamie stickers from the dollar store.

Um, guilty as charged!

Hey, you can’t knock cheap and fast.

Well, I don’t know about you, but I long for the day when we decorated REAL eggs.

In our house, my 2 sisters and I were hard core egg dippers. No wimpy ‘hard boiling’ for us.

We’d poke pin holes in each end of the egg, and blow the whites and yolk out before dying them. More than one egg was crushed before it made it to the bowl of food colouring. But that was part of the fun.

Well, this year, I’m going to try and restore that little tradition with my 6-yo daughter. I am laying down a strict “no plastic eggs” rule. And, after seeing all these sweet Easter craft ideas made from ‘cracked’ egg shells, I won’t be at all disappointed if she crushes a few along the way!
