Egg penguins (or peguin eggs) are always popular with guests and are perfect for a penguin, Noah's Ark or other nature themed baby shower. With a little creative thinking, you can easily change them to create little mice, lambs or anything else that will go with your theme.
Egg penguins are always a favorite for kids and even adults can enjoy these delightful little creatures.
INGREDIENTS:
- Eggs (1 per peguin)
- Black Olives (whole, 2 per egg)
- Baby Carrots (1 per egg)
- Toothpicks

HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN EGG PENGUINS:
- Prepare the Eggs
- Boil the eggs until they are hard,usually ten minutes on high.
- Remove eggs from heat, remove the egg shell and set aside to cool.
- While the eggs are cooling, wash the baby carrots and the olives.
- Prepare the Carrots
- Cut the tip off the end of one carrot. Make sure it is a thin carrot for a more beak-like appearance. Set aside.
- Cut another carrot lengthwise and then trim until you have the right sized feet that you want.
- Prepare the Olives
Cut one black olive in half-length wise and remove the pip.
- Assemble Your Penguin
