Very late, but Easter has finally come this year! At least in many parts of the world this weekend is the official Easter Holiday. Here in China, Easter is very little known of, and of course, it’s not a holiday here at all. While life is continuing just like usually, I thought I’d give some of my students a little surprise. We colored Easter eggs. Admitted, it’s a little late to start putting up Easter decoration now, but then I always think: better late than never!

So, I had my students go through the whole process of blowing the eggs, rinsing, drying and painting. Of course, at first, they didn’t really understand why I would go through the hassle of blowing the eggs, instead of simply cracking them open, but once they understood, they got all excited. For them, it was the first time ever to decorate Easter eggs, and they diligently colored them with plain colors, striped designs, and faces!

Happy Easter, everyone!
