The splendor of springtime and Easter are upon us. It's time to start thinking about filling your Easter baskets with chocolate bunnies and colorful eggs. Of course, decorating Easter eggs is the most popular Easter activity for many of us.

Two Options for Prepping the Eggs -

The grown-ups will need to prep the eggs before the kids can dye and decorate them. Most egg preparations fall into two categories: edible and decorative.

Blown-Out Eggs:

Use this method for eggs that will be made as a decorative keepsake and not consumed.

1. Use a pin to make a small hole in the top of the egg and a slightly larger hole (1/4-inch diameter) in the egg's bottom.
2. Blow through the top egg hole, so the egg inside the shell slides out the bottom hole.
3. Rinse the empty eggshell with hot water.
4. Using tongs, gently immerse the empty eggshell in a pot of very hot water for 10 seconds to strengthen the inner lining and neutralize germs.

After decorating blown-out eggs, an adult should use hot glue to attach a ribbon loop to the top of the eggs in order to hang them. You can also use hot glue to attach a bow or a decorative bead to cover up the top and bottom egg holes.

Hard Boiled Eggs:

Use this method for eggs that will be consumed and decorated with food-friendly ingredients or materials.

1. Place eggs in a large pot and fill with water to 1-inch above eggs.
2. Bring water to a boil and continue boiling for 15 minutes.
3. Remove eggs from heat and run cold water in the pot to cool them.
4. Remove eggs to a bed of paper towels and cool completely before dying and decorating.
