Easter Egg Dyeing A New Way With Hey Buddy Hey Pal

Tired of these new Easter egg dyeing kits with gimmicks that don't work or are just plain messy? I know I am. At Toyfair I was introduced to this new company and got to demo a new way to decorate eggs that actually works and doesn't require any real clean up. The Eggmazing Egg Decorator appeared on Shark Tank and was Amazon's #1 selling Easter item in 2019.

With the Eggmazing Egg Decorator theres no waiting for the dyes to work, it's an interactive activity that's sure to keep adults and kids actively engaged. You simply put a hard boiled egg into the machine and let it do the spinning for you. You just need to choose which markers you want to draw lines, squiggles or dashes all over the egg. I had a lot of fun doing this and I'm sure my family will have a blast as we play with it just before Easter.

Each kit contains one machine and 8 colorful non-toxic markers. It runs on 4 AA batteries (not included.)

You can find the egg shaped kit at Amazon, Bed Bath & Beyond, Walmart or other retailers. A special Easter Bunny shaped one can be found at specialty retailers and mom & app shops. With a MSRP of 19.99 these are well worth choosing in favor of other egg decorating kits out there.






Easter Basket Fun With Foodie Surprise Yolkies And Candy Slime Eggs



Looking for something fun and new to spice up your Easter baskets this year?  Look no further because Redwood Ventures has brought two new exciting products to the table.

Foodie Surprise Yolkies are large plastic white eggs that contain a delicious (and very realistic looking) egg slime and a cute little egg yolk Yolkies toy with his own unique costume. The egg slime is an edible slime with a gummy egg yolk center. Mine tasted like a pina colada. The Yolkies toy is a fun, soft rubber yolk that comes with a hard plastic costume. Since the yolk is removable you can swap them around with other costumes you have collected! This series contains 12 to collect, and a holiday foods Yolkies series is coming out later this year.

These have a MSRP of 4.99 and can be found at Amazon or Target





The Foodie Surprise Candy Slime Egg are much like the Yolkies but instead of a toy you get mystery surprise mix-ins to customize your slime with. Mix-ins can include edible glitter, pastel Pearl's, blue crystals and candy flowers. Each egg comes with a small shovel to mix your slime up with. I got the clear slime with glitter mix-ins, which tasted like coconut. There are 6 slimes to collect in season 1 and more holiday slimes will be released later this year.

These MSRP for 2.99 and can be found at Amazon and Walmart.
