Eggs-periment!
This is an egg-cellent way to check your egg is fresh without breaking it open.
Carefully place your egg in a cup of fresh, cold water.
Did it Float?
No
Yes
Good Egg
Bad Egg
If your egg stays at the bottom then it’s fresh; if the egg floats, however,
it’s stale and best avoided. (Unless you want to make the toilet your new best
friend! yuk!)
Now try soaking your egg in vinegar!
Place a hard boiled egg in a glass and cover it completely with vinegar.
What happens?
Why?
Now leave it for a couple of days (Preferably somewhere with natural air so
you don’t stink everyone out!). Take the egg out of the vinegar and wipe it off
with a paper towel. Feel the egg.
What happened?
Why?
Well... what did you eggs-pect? (Tee-hee... sorry!)

So where does the Easter Bunny
come into all this???
• Read the paragraph and answer the questions below.
The origins of the Easter Bunny can be traced back to Germany where it was
first mentioned in German writings in the 1500’s. The Hare and the Rabbit
were the most fertile animals known and they simply served as symbols of new
life during the Spring season. The German settlers then took the tradition
over to America during the 1700’s when they arrived in the Pennsylvania Dutch
country.
The arrival of the “Oschter Haws” (Easter Bunny) was considered “childhood’s
greatest pleasure” next to a visit from Father Christmas on Christmas Eve.
Children believed that if they were good the “Oschter Haws” would put lots of
coloured eggs in the nests they would leave for him. Boys would use their caps
and girls their bonnets to make the nests .
The first edible Easter Bunnies were made in Germany during the early 1800’s
and were made of pastry and sugar. As the tradition of the Easter Bunny
spread, baskets and chocolate eggs were used to replace the original
traditions.
Where in America was the Easter Bunny introduced?
What did children originally leave for the Easter Bunny?
What were Easter Eggs originally made from in the 1800’s?

• This first puzzle is played over a 4 x 4 grid.
• In each row there are 4 slots. Some of them are
empty and need to be filled in by you!
• The Easter things are:
Bunny, Egg, Basket and Chick.
• These must be placed only once in each vert-egg-al column and only once in each
horizontal row.
• If any Easter item appears twice in any row or column you will have to start all over again!
• Once you have finished, colour the items.
• Now try this harder one.
• Every row, column and mini grid must contain a Basket,
Egg, Bunny and Chick... but don’t guess. Use logic!
That’s all yolks! Happy Easter!
