Notes
- To make peeling your eggs easier, add a little vinegar to the water. To make your hard-boiled eggs less likely to crack while boiling, add a little salt to the water.
- When making the holes, push straw all the way in through the white section to the yolk. Squeeze egg out of straw between making each hole.
- Carrot bits could easily be substituted with bell pepper for other colors of eyes.
