Saturday we had a blast with our Easter Egg painting party. We had bought 40 free range eggs. K carried them home all the way from the supermarket earlier this week. He wanted to make sure nothing happened to them :-). He was very disappointed that he wait until Saturday before we could paint them.
Saturday morning we boiled the eggs and we made our dye. We checked out several egg painting ideas from hands on as we grow.
We used 2 recipes, vibrant egg colors which uses 180 ml water, 15ml vinegar and different amounts of food coloring (depending on the color). And we used a cool aid recipe, 1 sachet of cool aid and 1 cup of water.The kids had a blast with the paint. F&O came over and later on Nikita joined as well. A fun afternoon. Jamilla stopped by too but we had no eggs left :-( but we did have a good time with her. O and she played with water for a long time.
Our Easter morning was fun...we took it easy..enjoyed a Easter breakfast at home...an Easter lunch at grandma's and dinner too! We had an Easter egg hunt at home and at grandma's the boys had enough chocolate for the rest of this year! We all played ' 4 pics 1 word' on a tablet. ...we got pretty far 100+ pics guessed right..very entertaining.
K's favorite TV program at the moment is Huisje Boompje Beestje. This week's topic was; eggs. K watched it several times. He loves eggs. They did an experiment with an egg: fill a jar with vinegar and add 1 egg. After 3 days the egg shell is dissolved. ..so yep...we have got an egg in a jar .
