To Make Egg Buddies You Will Need

  • Dry, room-temperature hard boiled eggs*
  • Adhesive wiggly eyes
  • Yarn and/or pom poms
  • Sharpie marker
  • Egg pants or egg cups
  • Glue Dots

*Hard Boiled Egg Tip:  I have used an egg timer that you place into the water for the last 10 years or so and it is a complete lifesaver when you forget and look at the time when you put your eggs in the water!
