Easter Safety

I love April! Grass turns green, a large white rabbit delivers chocolate!, my birthday is always fun and this year for the first time I share my birthday month with my little guy!! Easter is lots of fun, but I just recieved a reminder about Easter safety and wanted to share..

EASTER EGG SAFETY
*Hard-boil eggs then cool quickly. Do not let your children colour eggs that have cracked shells. *Use a colouring dye that is non-toxic.
*Store the coloured eggs in a container in the refrigerator until you're ready to hide them or eat them. If your children want to eat their Easter eggs after using them as decoration, display the eggs in a bowl of ice.
*Do not eat Easter eggs that have been out of the refrigerator for more than two hours.
*Do not eat Easter eggs with cracked shells.
