Religious customs abound on Easter, but a number of secular traditions have emerged as well. Perhaps the most popular secular tradition associated with Easter is the colouring of Easter eggs. Easter egg dyeing kits emerge in early spring. Consumers have a variety of alternatives to these kits at their disposal. There are some people who desire more environmentally friendly Easter eggs, so here are some creative and greener ideas for colouring eggs this year. · Wooden eggs: Visit a craft store and purchase wooden eggs that can be painted and decorated however you desire. The wooden eggs will be durable and can be stored away for use each and every year. Because they are made of wood, a naturally recyclable material, they are easy on the environment. · Consider natural dyes. Use different food items to create all-natural dyes for the eggs. Tea, fruit and vegetable juices -- even packaged drink mixes -- can be used to tint Easter eggs in various colours. Because you're controlling the materials you use, you can ensure they are safe to use. · Experiment with papier mache. This ancient paper crafting technique uses recycled paper and a paste to create a hardened mold. Turn excess scraps of paper into delightful eggs put on display for the holiday. · Purchase corn starch eggs. Corn starch is used in everything from packing materials to children's craft products.

Rather, make eggs that will be enjoyed and are not at risk of spoiling too soon after being on display. Gelatindessert eggs is one way to use the eggs after Easter, and creative people can try crafting eggs out of meringue as well. · Dough eggs: Have the children get out their favourite modeling dough and craft multi-coloured eggs as a fun, rainy-day project. Those who want the eggs to last can purchase actual clay from the craft store or whip up their own medium at home. After drying, the eggs should be ready to paint. · Drained eggs: Those interested in using the yolks and albumen from the eggs for cooking can poke small holes into the eggs and drain them. Then the remaining eggshells can be decorated and put on display. $ 26.95 PER PERSON Children 12 and under HALF PRICE Children under 5 EAT FREE We will be offering two seatings for our brunch.
