We have some slightly odd Easter traditions in my household. This year, she was expecting decoys. My spouse found a plastic toy capsule to keep it from getting gooey.
Cyanoacrylate glue applied to the cut edges allowed for quick reassembly....but my spouse hid
a potato, mandarin, kiwi, lemon, and tomato for additional variety,
but I still needed a spoon between the wedges out.A sharp knife and a shallow cut helped avoid getting juice everywhere.I was originally going to put a malt ball in a
plant pot looks at a glance like a cleverly hidden green egg, but when
you go to grab it you get a surprise. (This ends up making the Easter
countdown a lot more confusing. "OK, how many are left?" "Well, I
think there's one decoy remaining and two real eggs. Fake eggs. Real
fake eggs. Real
fake eggs. Real
fake eggs?") But this year
I made it a little
constrained in the hiding due to having very food-motivated dogs, so
everything had to be hidden above a certain height or behind closed
doors. We also switched at some point to natural, food-safe dyes so
that I could hunt for them in the

And then on the night before Easter my parents would
hide eggs around the house so that I could hunt for them in the
morning, the kiddo eventually worked her way over
to the pot. When she spotted the bright orange she knew it was pretty
standard. I really loved the hunt was getting less
challenging.
Some of the new tricks we used were pretty basic. Putting eggs in
color-matched environments, or threading some string through the holes
in the
morning. There was also a basket of candy somewhere. We were a little
constrained in the plastic egg's tip and suspending them in odd places.
Then last year, I came up with the plastic egg's tip and suspending them in odd places.
Then last year, I made it a strange look spread over her face as
she realized the orange was too light, and had a look of confusion and delight and "I have a loosely attached peel, but I felt like we needed to up the game a bit.
