Friday Fun…Real or Plastic?

Good morning Kathy,

We still dye some eggs as the kids like to make designs but for the Easter Egg Hunt we use plastic eggs filled with coins and candy. The kids are older now so not as much fan fare with the hunt itself but always make sure we have a dozen of the Cascarones around (confetti eggs)!!

Oh, I definitely remember coloring Easter Eggs with dye when I was young. I didn't hide Easter eggs for my kids but if I did, I'd do the plastic eggs!

Thanks for sharing some fun facts, Kathy!!! Have a great weekend!!!

Good morning, Kathy... I grew up dyeing "real" eggs. Haven't done it in years... too much work for just Chris and me. I've never done anything with plastic eggs... I've never bought any in my entire life. I did not grow up with egg hunts... we just got beautiful Easter baskets with lots of chocolate goodies. I collect hand-painted eggs from Russia.

We always did this with the kids Kathy, and we did both. We dyed them and used the plastic to hide surprises!

We have always done both Kathy Streib . Now, with Timmothy being the only one at home, we only dye eggs. If Tina was still home she would still insist on a Easter egg hunt.

Having no children or grandchildren nearby we no longer celebrate Easter with hiding eggs. The plastic one are a good idea especially out here in the high desert. My sense with some of the not so friendly creatures I would be careful if I hid them where I would hide them.  

When you find unfound eggs in the yard, do you put them somewhere to save for the next year's hunt?

Good morning Kathy. We no longer dye Easter eggs. We us plastic eggs and hide them around our townhome. Since they are all indoors it is best. Enjoy your day. 

We used to use plastic eggs filled with coins and candy as you do. Likewise I would find some as I was digging and weeding.

Good Friday morning, Kathy. It is been many years since I dyed Easter eggs. 

Hi Kathy,
Oh, yes, we always dyed eggs at Easter time. With no grandkids around, I haven't done that in years. 

Kathy we use to have an Ester Egg Hunt every year when my boys were growing up, but we always used plastic eggs.

Kathy, I remember dying real eggs for Easter, and we did with my daughter also.  Never have purchased plastic eggs.

Hi Kathy:

We haven't dyed Easter eggs since the grandkids last visited for Easter several years ago. No plans for any egg dyeing this year.

Throughout the years, we have enjoyed hiding plastic Easter eggs and watching the boys find them when growing, now it's the Grands that hunt them, Kathy. I remember when my mom would make egg salad from the boiled eggs, despite the pastel colors on the white parts! 

We don't really celebrate Easter anymore. The grands are getting too old for the egg hunts (the two youngest aren't the least bit interested).

I bought some pretty colored marble eggs years ago and stopped coloring real eggs.

We may be doing a brunch with some of the family, but still not sure.

That was always such a fun part of Easter and family traditions. We always dyed eggs and had a big hunt on Easter day. Lots of Egg Hunts up here so still fun to be had!!  The Elks club has a huge event, The Easter Rabbit lands in a helecopter and the hunt begins!! Hapy Easter Kathy Streib
