My little girl's third Easter was coming up and she was very excited about it as she was finally old enough to understand the fuss about colorful Easter Eggs and fluffy Easter Bunnies. We told her that we would make Easter Eggs together and she was very anxious about that.
Actually I think we told her this a bit too early, ending up with a month of her asking repeatedly when we were to make the "Easter Eggs" and us having to explain about "time" and "dates" and so on, all of which I am pretty sure she didn't understand.
I had never done any Easter Egging myself, having grown up in a pretty traditional Chinese family. So I began doing some research and found out all about this business of making your Easter Eggs. It was, to my relief, easier than I thought it would be.
For a twist I was inspired at the last minute to use a couple dozen quail eggs instead of the traditional chicken eggs which made for super tiny cute Easter eggs that could, after the spectacle of course, easily be peeled and fed to your tot (my girl loves them!) for dinner, lunch, or whatever. Plus the natural random speckling of the quail eggs really showed up through the dye and made for uniquely patterned Easter Eggs.
