Wonderful Easter eggs
Blown Eggs
Eggs must be at room temperature. Prick the big end of an egg with a pin. Make the hole bigger by carefully chipping away the shell around the hole. Make another hole in the small end of the egg. Put your fingers over both the holes and shake the egg hard. This will break the yolk. Hold the egg over a bowl and blow through the small hole, emptying the egg into the bowl. Let the egg dry. Have fun decorating.
