Easter has been on my 3-year-old’s radar since Christmas. Jack has succumbed to the eggs/bunnies/chicks hype at retail stores, and is now really interested in colored eggs (because he thinks they all contain chocolate). Jack, with his one-year-old brother in tow, even hid a bunch of plastic eggs in our neighbor’s yard earlier this week.

We’re always looking to entertain the dudes with crafts and this weekend’s traditional fun is to dye and decorate some eggs. We prefer using the hardboiled type (and not messing around with sticking pins in and blowing out the raw egg). We’ll hide the decorated eggs around the yard, but we’re not planning on eating them.

Here is the newest food safety infosheet detailing some risks and risk-reduction steps for Easter fun.
