“Peep and Egg: I’m Not Using the Potty” stars Peep, an adorable yellow chick & her younger sibling named Egg. When Peep explains to Egg that it’s time to learn how to use the potty, a tug of war ensues.

This is so neat!! I think my kids would love to see the peep “grow” in the microwave!! This would be a fun Easter activity!!

What a neat recipe.

The purple berries are elderberries. Purple elderberries are edible (the red ones are NOT). Purple elderberries should only be eaten when fully ripe, not green. Also elderberries should be cooked (or fermented as for wine) prior to eating. They can cause stomach upset in some people and cooking removes that potential. I actually don” think they”re all that tasty but they are super medicinal. Be sure you”re properly identifying before eating, of course. There are other berries that may look similar. The red berries are thimbleberries and edible. They grow in the rocky mountain west and are a bit like a raspberry. Can be eaten raw.

Now this looks like a great way to use peeps. Very neat with all the vibrant colors for play dough. I would much rather make playdo with them than eat them.
