One of my Aunts emailed me a list of ‘25 Clever Things’. She knows I’m not a Suzy Homemaker but there were a couple of good ones on there and this one grabbed my attention.
I think they’d be perfect for Valentine’s Day breakfast for your little ones and they were very easy to make.
You will need:
1 Hard boiled egg
A chopstick
2 rubber bands
Piece of card
Here’s what we did:
1) The original instructions called for a milk carton, but here in the UK I haven’t seen any as our milk tends to come in plastic jugs. I used a piece of card (approx 8x20cm), more specifically, the front cover of an estate-agents folder. I chose this as it had a coating so the egg didn’t stick t to it.
2) Fold the card in half. You may have to trim it a bit later. See picture.
3) Peel the egg when it is still warm and place it in the card. The gently press the chopstick into it, not too hard, as I did and damaged the egg a bit. Then secure each end with a rubber band.
4) Then place in the fridge for 10-15 min.
5) Remove the package and but the egg in half perpendicular to the chopstick dent.
Cute! These would be lovely at Easter too :) x
Great idea!
What a lovely idea! Think I’ll give that a go one day :-)
It was easy, honest!
Very clever. I saw that email and also liked this one. I haven’t done it though.
I also loved the idea of velcro strips on the wall for soft toys…but not sure if that would work?
How clever. Is it Easter yet? Sainsburies got the hot cross buns out the first week in Jan
Noooooo!
