I used to put eggs and leaves in stockings, too, do all sorts of models.
Hope things went better with your niece than my son's experience in the kitchen - he was very scared of going near the stove, but in the end managed to color two eggs.
Happy Easter!
She was a bit scared of dipping the eggs in the cups with paint. But besides that....was np..."I want nail polish"....then se decided she would rather color her nails then eggs....then she wanted crayons....then she wanted nail polish again...so yes..id say it went perfectly lol.
That sounds about right :D
