For Easter, Ben and Julia sent Zoe a set of three eggs that, after setting in water, hatch to reveal different baby animals. One of Zoe's resolutions for the new year was to work on her patience, so this really helped to test that out. First, we had to put all of the eggs in the water and let them sit. Zoe wasn't to keen on having something that was, as she would call it, "Mine!" just left in a tub of water. So she played with them until one dropped and hatched prematurely.
Thankfully we were able to let the remaining eggs sit unmolested for several days, and Zoe was very happy with the results.
She was such a proud mommy. Along with those eggs, Cheryl picked up some plastic eggs that would dye like the real thing. We had all sorts of colors, crayons, paints and dyes. Thankfully the smell of vinegar in the dyes kept Zoe from chugging them. I think she enjoy marking up her eggs for the holiday.
Once they were dry, Zoe even got to put some stickers on the eggs. Overall Zoe's first coloring of Easter eggs was a success. I'm hopeful that next year I won't have to worry about her trying to drink the dye.
