Happy World Egg Day! Each year, World Egg Day is celebrated on the second Friday of October. Whether you eat eggs or not, whether you like it or not, this day was made to raise awareness of the egg-cellent nutritional benefits of eggs and the huge role they play in serving families around the world. How do I take part in celebrating? Now that, is an egg-xtremely good question. In fact, there are a ton of ways! Here are some ideas: ᝪ Include eggs in your meal The best way to start your day is a delicious and nutritious… (you guessed it!) …egg. Try a scrumptious scrambled egg, or maybe make an omlette with some ham, bacon and cheese! Add your favorite ingredients to create the perfect breakfast, both healthy and tasty. Now isn’t that a win-win situation? ᝪ Learn some fun facts about eggs Want to impress someone for whatever reason? Brush up on some quirky and strange-but-true facts about eggs. Now’s the perfect time to do so! For example, did you know that the color of an egg is determined by the breed of the hen and the color of their earlobes? Or that chef hats are heavily influenced by eggs? And that there are at least 10 types of edible eggs? Search on the internet for more facts, there are tons! ᝪ Get artistic with eggs You might think that eggs are boring, but if you place multiple eggs somewhere with an interesting lighting, it makes a great subject to draw, with all the shadows and the signature egg shapes. You could also use eggshells as craft materials. Some have made eggshell lamps and hanging decorations! ᝪ Write a story about eggs For all those writers out there, a great prompt would be something including eggs. Here are a few examples! “I found an egg in my backyard…” Write about all the different ways eggs can be part of your daily meals Make up a story of a dozen eggs living together in the same carton. (I’m sure naming them would be a fun(ny) process!) It would also be a egg-cellent idea to search for some hysterical egg jokes and puns. Maybe even try make up your own! One of those might just be enough to crack someone up… haha! Here are a few: ᝪ Why do people love eating hard-boiled eggs for breakfast? They're hard to beat! ᝪ What days do eggs hate the most? Fry-day. ᝪ Why don't dinosaurs lay eggs? They're egg-stinct. ᝪ I ate the world's largest egg this week – that will take some beating. “Okay! Coral! Stop! That’s enough!” Yes, I hear you… I hope that after today, you’ll get to know more about eggs and how amazing they really are. Don’t be an egghead and underestimate the potential of an egg, you’ll regret it! - Coral :D Credits: ᝪ The establishment of World Egg Day, when it was decided to celebrate the power of the egg on the second Friday in October each year ᝪ Me () for the description and thumbnail ᝪ You for viewing! <3 Share your egg creations in the comments!
