It can sometimes be a little tricky to convince the kids to eat hard boiled eggs. That’s where these cute egg mold’s come in and bring a boring looking egg to life, and usually end up being eaten.
To use your egg mold, first you need to hard boil some eggs. Ideally the egg should still be warm when you mold it, it is more pliable the warmer it is.
Place a few drops of water around the inside of the mold, to prevent the egg sticking and then pop the egg inside the mold.
Shut the egg mold and close tightly. You may find a little of the white squeezes out of the edges, this is ok, you can clean it up later.
Place the egg mold in a bowl of water for 10 minutes. If you find that your little fish floats, then just weigh it down with a spoon.
After 10 minutes, remove your egg mold from the water and carefully open the mold to reveal your eggy fish (or is that a fishy egg?!)
Simply use a sharp knife to clean up any messy edges.
