These easy to make Easter eggs, look fab hanging from twirly branches or placed in a decorative basket on the table!
Egg blowing…
*Eggs must be at room temperature and need to be whole and not cracked
*Prick the big end of an egg with a pin then make the hole bigger by carefully chipping away the shell around the hole.
*Make another hole in the small end of the egg.
*Put your fingers over both the holes and shake the egg hard, this will break the yolk.
*Hold the egg over a bowl and blow through the small hole, (littlies love doing this and giggle when the yolk splurges out in long yucky drops!)
*Let the egg dry for a few hours ready for the fun decorating.
