Easter eggs and Peeps

On Saturday, all 3 of our granddaughters came over for a day of fun. 

We started the day coloring Easter Eggs.

We mixed baking soda with water and food coloring.

Then we used q-tips to paint designs on hard boiled eggs.

The designs varied - stripes, dots, flowers and a mix of colors.

Hands needed washing after this step!

Next, we poured white vinegar over each egg.  It was fun to watch the colored baking soda fizz and bubble.

After the eggs dried, we put them in cartons with some fake grass. The girls were happy with their creations!

I have to add in this picture of Cassie to show you how cute she looks with her missing bottom teeth.  She was in her glory on this day - her best thing to do is spend time with her cousins and she was so excited!

Our next activity was making Rice Krispie Peeps. I made Rice Krispie bars and spread them out thin. I found Peep cookie cutters and cut them out. Then the girls added eyes and noses to some, and to others, they added a marshmallow tail.

Look at all the finished Peeps!

We bagged them up individually so they could each take some home.

We had to stop at Chik-fil-A for a late lunch before going home. Everyone had a fun day, including Grandma.  Grandpa missed the fun this day because he was busy working on a project that I'll tell you about later.
