Making marshmallow animals!
You'll need cookie cutters in cute animal shapes to make the
marshmallow animals. Want more than one colour? Divide the
marshmallow mixture into three parts and colour each one with a
different food colouring before refrigerating them in smaller
pans.

Painted
eggs
Painted Easter eggs range from simple single-colour dye jobs to
intricately patterned masterpieces. You can use gouache or markers
to create your designs, but the traditional way works like magic.
Don't forget to make pinholes at both ends and blow the eggs out
first; you can use the innards to make the frittata.
- Prepare three or four different dyes: blue, pink, green, yellow, purple, whatever you want.
- In each container, combine 1 cup (250 mL) of boiling water with 2 teaspoons (10 mL) of vinegar and twenty or so drops of food colouring.
- Cover eggs in part with melted beeswax, different-width rubber bands, stencil stickers (stars, dots), page-hole reinforcers, adhesive label strips with designs cut into them, whatever you have.
- Dip eggs in a dye, leaving them until they reach the desired shade. Remove and set aside to dry. Carefully remove some of the coverings, then dip eggs into a different dye.
- Repeat the procedure with the various dyes to create
multicoloured masterpieces. P iled on a plate, they make a stunning
centrepiece that will enchant young and old alike!
Happy Easter!
