Easter eggs, - how to make your own & amuse the children
How do you dye eggs with onion peels?
Instructions
Place onion skins in large stockpot.
Make sure eggs are clean. ...
Place prepared eggs into the pot with the onion skins.
Cover with water so that it is 1” above eggs. ...
Bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
Check eggs for desired color.
When ready, carefully remove eggs.
Another way is to spread quite a bit of flour in a dish, then press an egg into the flour to make several molds. Make marshmallow according to directions on Google or recipe book, & pour into each flour mold. When set, join each half 'egg' with another, using jam or icing. Dust off egg. Return flour to its container - it's not harmed by use.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
