PomPom sugarless eggs


Sometimes the first grandchild's protectors say, "No sugar," for the Easter baskets; and five years and three grandchildren later relax to, "The children are excited about the candy for Easter."

But to perform my duty and behave that first year, I came up with Elmo and his buddies for the eggs, using a white glue and four sizes of pom-poms. The faces fit perfectly inside the plastic eggs.

A thoughtful mother had saved these and showed them to me tonight over Matzo ball soup, after a hard day's raking on my part to get the grounds ready for the hunt.

  1. Sounds like fun. We bought bunny ears today to complete our Easter ensembles for grandson's (along with his parents)brunch Sunday.
