Easter Deviled Eggs

Today we made Easter deviled eggs for our afternoon snack! We boiled up some hardboiled eggs, peeled them (which turned out to be more challenging than I thought!), and cut them up. We took a butter knife and aiming in toward the yolk at an angle, we made little peaks for the cracked egg look. Even though a few of the eggs didn’t turn out great, cutting them up this way hid a lot of the flaws! We took out the yolks and mashed them up with some mayo and paprika and salt.
I didn’t have a piping bag handy so I just went ahead and used a ziploc bag and cut the tip to squirt the filling into the little egg cups. I didn’t have anything legit handy to make the eyes, but I did happen to have a kiwi and the seeds worked perfectly for the eyes. Then we took little slices of cheese in triangles to make the chick’s beaks. And there you have it! A fun and simple little Easter egg activity perfect for an afternoon snack!

  • Eggs (hard boiled)

Rainbow Waffles Toddler Activity

Ready for some more rainbow fun?! This week, Sofie and I made these fun rainbow waffles. It does take a little bit of time to mix all of the colors, but Sofie loves blueberries, so I kept her entertained with those while I made the waffle mix. To keep it simple, I just use a bag of waffle mix and then make each color in a separate bowl. I used these lovely pastel food coloring sets because I’m all about that modern pastel rainbow. Here’s what you need to get started:

  • Blueberries

  • Waffle mix

  • Water or milk

  • Pastel food colors

  • Waffle iron

Now for the hard part — pour each color into a piping bag and cut the tips. You have to work pretty quickly. I started on the outside with the pink and then did a circle around. Then move onto the orange and so on until you get the perfect rainbow effect. You can tell I didn’t quite fill it up enough which is why my waffle had holes. So hopefully you use enough to fill it and work fast enough not to let the colors bleed together. Then just use your waffle iron as directed and when you’re done pop it out. Mine pretty much fell apart in half, but if not, break or cut it down the middle and sprinkle some blueberries for clouds.

And there you have it, the perfect toddler breakfast — rainbow waffles. Sofie loved these and the blueberries added sweetness with out needing to get her hands sticky with syrup. I’m all about the ease of clean up over here. ;)

I will definitely be doing more pancakes in the future.

Sight Words For Breakfast

This morning we used breakfast as an opportunity to practice our sight words! I thought these would be really hard for Sofie to get, but surprisingly, she could repeat every single word! It was so fun to hold them up and have her say each word out loud. I paired it with a special eggs and heart shaped toast for breakfast. I love doing creative little ways to make breakfast a special time since we really get to bond over breakfast.

Lately Sofie has been more interested in whatever I’m eating than what I’ve made for her. But I guess that comes with the toddler mom territory. She really liked the toast today though and that kept her busy while I was making my own breakfast. Because the toast and her sight words flashcards, she was all set to for a whine-free meal!
