Proof a 10 year can do it.

From start to finish my daughter made her own M&M-stuffed bunny eggs using this tutorial. She carefully dyed them in bright colors, let them dry, and blew all the eggy-guts out making deliberately disgusting noises in the process sending me into fits of giggles. Yes, even that poking-the-pin-through-the-shell-to-make-the-hole step she did all by herself. Of 22 eggs, only 1 broke in the process. Not bad!



She had a friend stop by on Sunday to help her with the decor. First, they stuffed the clean, dry egg shells with M&M's. My only rule was that more candy had to go in the bunnies than in their tummies. Then, they drew their own ears on thick wool felt and cut them out themselves. I used the steam iron to press in a crease (that was the only thing I assisted in doing). They painted glue on the ears with brushes, stuck them down, and drew the faces on with colored pencil.



My daughter made 10 and her friend made 11. They had quite a bit of fun in the process. I love the cute little faces they drew on:



They are both so proud of themselves. I think they have every right to be proud.

  1. I feel inspired... if she can do it, I must be able to master the bunny egg...
