These Dragon Eggs look so hot, you would expect a dragon to hatch out of them. Thanks go to  grandaughter Jamie for coming up with this idea. There are so many different ways to prepare Easter eggs and it is always fun to try something new. This is a great craft for any time of year while studying dragons and dinosaurs as well as a unique Easter Egg variation.

Trivia: 

The Easter bunny reportedly was introduced to America by the German immigrants who brought over their stories of an egg-laying rabbit with them. The coloring and decoration of eggs is believed to date back to at least the 13th century.
