Coloring eggs is usually a safe activity for children with egg allergies. Using good hygiene and washing your hands before and after handling eggs is always good. Touching the egg seldom poses a threat. You may want to wear gloves based on the extent of the allergy. Check with your doctor if unsure. Just make sure they don’t eat them.
They have on the market a variety of sizes of plastic eggs. These are very cool because you can fill them with stickers, toys, money, or treats.
For an egg spoon race, use plastic eggs with coins in them for a little bit of weight. A medium egg weighs 53 to 63 grams and a large egg weighs 63 to 73 grams. The equivalent coins would be as follows. The weight of a quarter is 6 grams and a dime is 2 grams. 10 quarters and 2 dimes for a large egg equals 64 grams and 9 quarters for a medium plastic egg is equal to 54 grams.
When celebrating Easter by having a nice meal include some of your eggless favorites added to the menu.
If it is a potluck and others are bringing a dish make sure your hostess is aware of the egg allergy and maybe they can have a separate area on the buffet table for eggless dishes. Bring with you some place cards that can be placed in front of the dish that lists food allergens. Offer to fix a couple of dishes and possibly a dessert that does not include egg.
You should always be prepared for a potential egg reaction. Bring with you two epinephrine auto-injectors and some Benadryl in case there is accidental exposure to the allergen.
