ARGH this looks soooo good!
Then use the left-over Peeps (if there's any!), to make Peeps Playdough!
Peeps Playdough
In a microwave safe bowl put the following ingredients:
- 5 peeps
- 3 Tablespoons flour
- 1 Tablespoon Crisco (we use the blue box)
- Microwave for 30 seconds; stir. (you can add food coloring for more bold colors, but we liked the soft pastel playdough colors the Peeps made)
- When the playdough is cool enough to touch (give it a good 30-60 seconds before you touch it) grab the marshmallow playdough and kneed the easy playdough recipe until you get a smooth dough. It will only take 30 seconds or so.
Easter Jokes
Baking eggs in the oven, instead of boiling. Wait, what the?!!
Make hard boiled eggs in the oven
Bake them in the oven at 325-350 degrees for 30 minutes. (depending on your oven. Try one egg at 325 and see how it does.) Put them in mini muffin pans so they don't wiggle around.
After the 30-minutes, get a bowl of ice water. Use tongs and put the eggs in the water.

Things to put inside an Easter Egg, besides candy?
This year our plastic Easter eggs will have in them:
- Candy (the kind my hubs and I like, and I guess the kids too)
- Coins; pennies, nickels, dimes & quarters
- Jokes; little piece of paper with a joke on it (I'll let you know how this one goes over with the kids)
