Spring Eggs and Activities

Spring is here with all the pastel colors and warmer weather. Try a few of our week's spring activities to ignite creativity and fun! Coloring Eggs with Dye Using natural ingredients like beet juice and turmeric or store-bought kits, eggs are hard-boiled and then dipped into vibrant dyes to create beautiful, personalized designs. It's a creative activity for all ages, whether going for bright, solid colors or experimenting with patterns, stickers, and wax-resist techniques. Check out a blog by Martha Stewart, which gives an in-depth tutorial on dying eggs and creating pretty patterns. Spring Movie Marathon April showers bring May flowers! Not every day can be sunny and perfect for outdoor play. Throughout spring break or on rainy days, watch a spring-themed movie like HOP or Peter the Rabbit.

Lastly, don't miss out on an opportunity for a classic easter egg hunt. First, fill up your plastic eggs with candy or small toys. Then, hide them around the house or outside without the kids noticing. Those innocent-looking Easter eggs can be an unexpected reminder of something less festive—pinworm eggs. These microscopic troublemakers are surprisingly common, especially among young children. And just like the hidden Easter eggs kids scramble to find, pinworm eggs can be sneakily spread through touch, clothing, bedding, and even shared toys. Reminder to wash your hands and talk to your doctor about treating OTC Reese's Pinworm Medicine.
