This is a sponsored post by Great Day Farms; however, all thoughts and opinions are our own.
I don’t know about you but the Holidays totally exhausted me and I was beyond ready for the new year to start! This year we wrote down some of our family goals which included eating healthy. This tends to be a challenge for me because I am a busy mama but I am determined to make some lasting changes that are fun and delicious.
I recently discovered Great Day Farms hard-boiled eggs in the Deli section of Walmart. I brought them home and decided I would sit down with the kiddos to make some fun (and tasty) egg characters. We gave them seaweed, food coloring and veggies and let them think of a few characters to make.
Since we are going through a gardening phase in our house – a bee was the first thing that the kids thought of. A tiger and mouse were were also picked!
What you need //
Knife
Food Coloring + a bowl with warm water
Scissors
Carrots
Seaweed
A package of Great Day Farms Hard-boiled Eggs (peeled and ready to eat!)
How // Bee
Soak your hard-boiled egg in a bowl of warm water and place a few drops of yellow food coloring in the water.
While your egg is soaking, cut thin strips of seaweed to make the bee stripes.
Once the egg is yellow, pull it out of the bowl and place on a plate.
Cut one side of the boiled egg so it sits longways.
Wrap the strips of seaweed around the bees body.
Cut a slit on the top of the bees body (this will be for the wings).
Use seaweed to cut out two wings for the bee.
Put the seaweed wings in the slits on the top of the bees body.
Create eyes with seaweed, nuts or edible marker.
How // Mouse
Cut one side of the hard-boiled egg so it sits longways.
Save the piece you cut to make mouse ears.
Make two slits on top of the mouse’s body for his ears and insert.
Cut out seaweed or use a edible pen for eyes and cut out small strips of carrot for whiskers and a nose. These can easily be stuck into his little body and kiddos love this part!
How // Tiger
Soak your hard-boiled egg in a bowl of warm water and place a few drops of yellow food coloring in the water.
While your egg is soaking, cut strips of seaweed for your tigers markings, whiskers, nose, mouth, eyes, and ears.
Have your kiddos decorate their tiger. We used a long strip of seaweed on the top of our tigers head and then smaller strips of seaweed on the tigers cheeks.
Cut two slits on the top of your tigers head and insert some seaweed ears.
The boys enjoyed making these and enjoyed eating them just as much. Using the Great Day Farms hard-boiled eggs (that are already peeled and ready to eat) made this super fun and less messy. They are also super delicious!
I can see myself grabbing them for an on-the-go snack because they are filled with quality protein and a fast snack I can take anywhere!
