This year my oldest daughter will be 3.5 years old on Easter. I've gotten away the last 2 years with doing the bare minimum since she really didn't know what was going on, but now she does.
I need to step up my game!
I've already splurged on great Easter Baskets from Pottery Barn Kids and I started collecting stuff to put in it besides candy. I ordered the pink liner on the right in the image below for both of my girls. At first I was going to get different liners, but then I had a vision of future arguments, so I got the same ones.
I haven't dyed eggs with my daughter yet, so it's definitely on the list of things to do this year. I was at Party City last week and they had tons of egg coloring kits. While I was looking at them, I realized that I haven't done this since I was a kid and really don't remember how to dye Easter eggs.
Here's some tips from Martha Stewart:
Step 1: Blow Out the Eggs
I think I'm going to skip this part and just hard boil my eggs, but here's Martha's way. To empty a raw egg, begin by using the tip of a sharp utility knife to pierce both ends of the egg; turn the knife in one of the holes to widen it slightly. Then, poke a straightened paper clip through the larger hole to pierce and "stir" the yolk. Hold the egg, larger hole down, over a bowl, and then blow the contents out with a rubber ear syringe.
