Egg Molds: Kawaii ne?


I've been planning to do a post for a while now on these egg molds I found at Daiso($1.50 for a set of two). They're so easy to use and the results are adorable. I would have better pictures but my children were hounding me for the eggs while I was taking the photos. My son even called dibbs on the blue car, go figure.
Directions:
Place hard boiled egg in mold and close. Place mold in a bowl of cold water for about 20 minutes to set.

I'm sharing the directions because the package directions are in Japanese. The first time making this I put a raw egg in the mold. Then I dropped it in boiling water. You can imagine my surprise when I discovered egg floating all over the place.

P.S. sadly this mold does not work for rice crispy treats, I tried

What about using them for jello? Not sure they'd be easy to remove .. unless you make that firmer kind of jello.. hmmm. They're cute though!

Awesome! Not that I needed another reason to go to Daiso.

And I love that you tried it with rice crispy treats - something I would do.

It was great meeting you at BlogHer.

I bet they would get my kids to eat eggs! I may have to try to find a set of those. Somehow I think S and K would sneak them into the playdough box. :)

Those are so cute, I'm very tempted to make them for myself, even though I don't yet have children! :-)

We have these! We got them in the spring and they were a life saver because I used them to make party favors for an impromptu egg hunt.

Hi,
they're so funny!
I have no idea if there's a Daiso shop in Europe.
Do you know where to buy them in Holland (or where to order?)

Thanks!
