Happy Easter

In the spirit of Easter, we're going to teach you how to make Cascarones, or in other words, eggs with colorful confetti inside! These eggs are a fun way to celebrate holidays, festivals, or special occasions. Make sure to crack one over each of your loved ones, since having a cascarón broken over your head is a sign of good luck or admiration from the person breaking the egg! Check out our guide below on how to make these wonderfully colorful cascarones!

How to Make Cascarones

Materials:

• 6 Eggs (or as many as you need)
• Toothpick
• Food coloring
• Vinegar
• Clear glue or Mod Podge
• Tissue paper
• 1 cup of confetti (or you can substitute with cereal for a unique twist!)

Instructions:

1. Use a needle to poke a small hole on the top of the egg. Poke a second, but larger, hole on the bottom of the egg
2. Blow air through the small hole to force the yolk out.
3. Rinse out the eggshells and allow them to dry.
4. Boil 1/2 cup of water with a teaspoon of vinegar. Pour water into a small bowl and add 8-10 drops of food coloring. Do this for each color.
5. Use a wire whisk to dip the egg into the dye for at least 5 minutes. Remove the egg and allow it to dry.
6. Use a paper funnel or small spoon to fill the eggshell with confetti or cereal.
7. Glue a small round piece of tissue paper to seal the larger hole.
8. You can also decorate the eggs with stickers, glitter or other embellishments. 
9. Let the fun ensue with your homemade cascarones! 

Everyone here at Leos Imports wishes you all a "Hoppy" Easter, filled with joy, love, and much celebration! 

¡Feliz Pasuca!
