Easy Deviled Egg Easter Chicks Recipe Fun to Serve at Spring & Summer Parties

Good Food

These Deviled Egg Chicks from the April issue of Woman's Day would be fun anytime you're serving children, but they are really perfect whoever you'll be entertaining this Easter -- young and old alike. These are insanely easy to make in just four easy steps. Just think how much your holiday guests will be impressed when they see your creative take on an old-fashioned food that has been enjoyed in Spring & Summer for generations.

Recipe
by Kat Teutsch

Deviled Egg Chicks
Time to Make: 45 minutes
Makes 12 Chicks
Cost per Chick 34 cents

Ingredients

• 12 large eggs
• 1/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
• 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
• 2 tsp Dijon mustard
• Kosher salt & pepper
• 1 large carrot, very small capers, fresh dill & chives for decorating

Directions

1. Place the eggs in a large saucepan, add enough cold water to just cover and bring to a boil. Remove from heat, cover the pan and let stand for 11 minutes.

2. Drain the eggs and return them to the saucepan. Gently shake the pan to crack the eggs all over. Run under cold water to cool, then peel the eggs, discarding the shells.

3. Cut the top third off each egg and reserve. Carefully remove the yolks from the bottom two thirds, transfer to a small bowl and mash with the mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp pepper. If necessary, slice a thin piece off the bottom of each egg white so they stand straight.

4. Using a 1-inch cookie scoop, scoop the yolk mixture onto the top of each egg white. Very thinly slice the carrot into strips, then cut into feet, wings and beak shapes. Use the capers for eyes and the herbs for beards, hair, and eyebrows, gently placing each in the yolk mixture to make a face. Use the reserved top third of the egg for a hat.

Free Printables & Paper Crafts for Pesach

Passover begins this Friday night, April 3, at sundown. Here's a whole bunch of free and fun printables to download and print out this week to keep the kids busy during the holiday break and to beautify your Pesach Seder table and celebration.

Foldable Paper Pyramid Box Craft

I especially love this foldable pyramid box by Shala Kerrigan of Don't Eat The Paste that is about 2-1/2" tall at its highest point and so easy to make. The uses for this are many: it could be a name card at each place setting at your Seder table, a party favor filled with candy to send home with each your guests, something for the kids to play with during the holiday, or even used in multiples down the center of the table as a centerpiece.

And that's only the tip of the pyramid, as they say. Scroll down below to see lots more fun printouts to make with kids for Pesach.

Frog Origami Craft

Though not really a printable, this is a paper folding craft I just had to include it. All you have to do is follow these directions using a green sheet of origami paper to fold a flat piece of paper into a frog. Why not make a bunch of these and pass them out at the Seder when you get to the part about the frog plague?

Passover Coloring Pages

From plagues to playful Seder plates, there are lots of coloring sheets available online for you to print out. These are a few of my favorites for Passover this year. Click on each coloring page to download it

Paper Plate Sheep Craft

This simple kids art project from Crafting The Word of God requires just a few materials including a paper plate, markers, glue, cotton balls and the free downloadable template to make the sheep face and body parts.

Printable Animal Masks

A great site for printable animal masks including a frog, sheep, lion, tiger, bear and other beasts associated with Passover is CoolestFreePrintables.com. The lion pictured is just one of 20 masks that are waiting for you to download and print.

Passover 10 Plagues Finger Puppets Craft

Print these out and easily turn the cutouts into finger puppets representing all 10 plagues. Kids love these and they'll look forward to you bringing them to the Seder table every year from now on. A brilliant craft from ToriAvey.com

10 Plagues Memory Game

Another fun way to engage kids with the Seder and the meaning of Passover is with this 10 Plagues Memory Game from Creative Jewish Mom. Print two of these out on cardstock, get the kids to color the pages, then cut into squares and you have a Pesach game to enjoy.

Also from Creative Jewish Mom is the free Passover printable below

Egyptian Pharoah Head Dress Printable

What would the Seder be with that big bad guy Pharoah? Print this head dress out from First Palette, a site which also offers other ancient Egyptian printables like a man's collar and a woman's headband. Then cut it out so your child can time travel back to ancient Egypt during the Seder.

Easter Bunny Kids Pawprint Kit Review

Celebrations

Yes! the Easter Bunny Really Did Stop At Your House

Imagine the look of glee in your little one's eyes when they see actual "proof" this Sunday morning -- beyond the Easter basket itself -- that the Easter Bunny visited your house the night before. 

MBE partnered with Hoppy Paws, post contains Affiliate Links

Looking for an easy, inexpensive way to add some excitement and enchantment to your child's Easter Bunny experience this year? Then you're going to want to know about Hoppy Paws, a super cute DIY stamp kit that makes it possible for you to create realistic temporary Easter Bunny paw prints on indoor and outdoor surfaces at home.

MommyBlogExpert.com

Hoppy Paws comes with everything you need to bring the Easter Bunny fantasy alive for today's kids. Inside the box you'll find non-toxic biodegradable ink powder which you mix with water. Next, gently press the stamp into the liquid mixture and apply to just about any indoor or outdoor surface to create the iconic Bunny's paw prints. 

MommyBlogExpert.com

That's how easy it is for you to create a sweet memory for children that will last a lifetime. You can even add a little silver glitter while the paw prints are still wet for some extra magical sparkle and leave a half eaten carrot near the tracks like I did. After the holiday is over cleanup is just as simple, washing off with water according to the manufacturer.

Ready Made Cardstock 

Bunny Pawprints 

Available on Etsy

About Hoppy Paws
The idea for Hoppy Paws, the only company in Shark Tank history to close a deal for double the money asked for with zero money in sales, was first conceived more than 20 years ago by Trina Barkouras who made paw prints every Easter for her own children. Soon her family and friends wanted them, too, and before long a business was born. Today the company offers a line of stamp kits for a variety of child friendly occasions. 

In addition to Easter Bunny Paw Prints, other products include Santa's Reindeer Hoof Prints, Santa's Elf Footprints, Santa's Boot Footprints, Scary Cat Paws, Scary Monster Footprints, Tooth Fairy Wing Prints, Stork Footprints and Leprechaun

FREE Easter Bunny Paw Print Templates

UPDATE: Hoppy Paws, unfortunately, went out of business in 2019. The good news is there are still plenty of sources online if you're up for creating your own DIY Easter Bunny Kit and download bunny paw print templates from sites such as Etsy, Pattern Universe, and Twinkl, among others.
