Sometimes dying Easter eggs in classic pastels is best. Other times, dressing up the yellow ones in chick costumes is better!

Simply reserve a few hard boiled eggs (dyed yellow), dot black circles for eyes, and glue on a construction paper beak (square folded on a diagonal) and fuzzy yellow chick feathers ($1.50 at Michaels) on top!

Presto! Little chicks that live in the fridge until you feel brave enough to eat one. We’ve yet to be so daring. Part of me feels bad knocking him on the side of the head and peeling him.

I know. I know. He’s not real… but he’s cute. And that counts for something.

      We did eggs with him last year too (almost 2 years old) but he didn’t quite get it. I don’t think any age is too young as long as you’re having fun together! 🙂

    Super cute! I will do that with my kids this year….my first son was a chicken hatching out of his egg for his first Halloween. The costume came out so cute, totally reminded me of these lol.
