Imagine - beautiful Easter eggs with little scenes inside, made in your own kitchen! It's surprisingly easy to create these hollow, completely edible eggs with the proper instructions and equipment.  We like the sugar egg kit sold by HearthSong .  It includes step-by-step instructions show how to melt white candy wafers and pour into molds. Then it shows you how to create a unique scene in each egg's lower half, using the kit's tiny edible figures; attach the top half of the egg, decorate with softened, colored candy in easy-to-use squeeze tubes (3 colors included), and top with pre-made icing flowers. Each kit makes two eggs.  Recommended for ages 8 and older with adult supervision. Item # 702396, $19.98
