Blue bunny's and chicks form eggs.

I made these cute little animals for my sons preschool class snack they are so easy and cute the kids will gobble them right up. They are also yummy and healthy plus have just the right amount of calories needed for a quick snack in the afternoon for preschoolers. 

Hard boil your eggs and get them peeled, next dye them into yellow for the chicks and your desired color for the bunny's or leave the bunny's white. See my previous post to read how to dye the actual egg with natural food derived coloring.

If you are using a egg carton to hold your eggs that is made from the recycled cardboard like I have above make sure you line it with wax paper or the wet eggs will stick to it. 

Next gather your materials for decorating the eggs. you will need: a small knife, facial features, I made mine out of toasted seaweed punched with a decorative punch easily ordered online.

Beaks For the chicks mine are made from carrots 

Feet for the ducks mine are from Bologna and cut with a decorative punch set used for decorating bento box lunches. 

 You will also want grass to hid the animals in I shredded celery for mine.

   You will also need bunny ears mine are also made from bologna cut from a lips cookie cutter then cut in half.

I used paper muffins liners to hold my animals

 Add some grass and the eggs

Next you will want to put little slits into the eggs where the bologna or other material will be inserted

Add faces made from toasted seaweed and held on by a dab of mayo or mustard and you have cute little critters for your Easter or Ostara.
