The unrivaled success of the Ferrero company, which launched the production of chocolate eggs with surprises in 1972, is associated with the Italian tradition of giving children for Easter cakes filled with money and toys. The first branded batch of kinder surprises was sold out in just an hour, and so far the delicacy has not lost its immense popularity. It attracts not only with the taste of milk chocolate and unique contents. Many people like to make amazing crafts out of kinder surprises and even use their containers at home.
What can be made from chocolate eggs
Ferrero's chocolate egg can be a surprise not only for a child, but also for any adult - and it doesn't have to be a toy collector. Try to make an original present for a loved one by filling the "kinder" with your own gift. Prepare a small souvenir that can fit in the yolk of a chocolate egg - a plastic container. It can be a decoration, a wristwatch, a key chain, a bill rolled into a tube.
Very carefully split the branded foil wrapper along the seam, being careful not to damage the wrapper. After that, use the tip of a sharpened knife to separate the halves of the egg along the center line. Remove the toy from the container and, placing your gift in it, close it tightly. Stuff the chocolate egg with the yolk again, carefully soldering its edges with a knife heated in hot water. For an inconspicuous connection of the joints, it is recommended to use another kinder surprise chocolate. Wrap the treat and place it in the refrigerator compartment for a while. Your unusual present is ready!
The idea of the "Kinder" series with a high content of milk ingredients in chocolate came to the mind of Michele Ferrero, who since childhood did not like pure milk. In kinder surprises, this product is 32%.
An avid collector of chocolate egg toys can be delighted with a whole bunch of kinder surprises. To shape the confectionery into a flower, cut out a bud from green tissue paper for each bud. Wrap the bottom of the eggs with blanks, tightly rolling the legs and smearing them with PVA glue. Gently insert wooden or plastic skewers into buds with hardened bottoms. For their kinder surprises, make a beautiful arrangement in a basket, harmoniously combining flowers from chocolate eggs with living plants and decorative elements. You can put a small stuffed toy and a colorful card on top.
Crafts from containers from kinder surprises
Kinder Surprise collectors and homes with small children often accumulate a large number of plastic containers of chocolate eggs. Do not throw them away, because they are a wonderful material for a variety of crafts for games and interior decoration. In just one evening, you can use it to dress up an entire New Year tree! Here are just two examples of Kinder Surprise Christmas tree decorations.
Berry: paint the containers with gouache red; for better fixation of the dye, mix it with PVA glue. When the berries are dry, stick the grass of colored paper on top and attach a thread loop. Fish: Twist the foil tape with a pencil and fold to form a four-pointed tail. Pierce the container on one side and pull the string with the twisted tape and bead strung through the hole. Secure the tail inside the yolk with a second bead and knot. Close the container, wrap with decorative tape greased with glue and attach the eyes-buttons and mouth of colored paper to the fish.
Kinder Surprise containers are great storage for small items like beads and small screws. In folk medicine, for the prevention of ARVI, pendants made of plastic "yolks" filled with crushed garlic are used.
If you show your imagination and artistic taste, create amazing interior decorations with the help of plastic "yolks" and scrap materials. So, from kinder surprises, magnificent plant compositions are obtained. For a twig with three acorns, dip the containers in glue and wrap tightly with twine. Glue the tops with coffee beans, forming hats. Tie acorns into a bouquet with twine “shoots”, attach burlap leaves. This product will harmoniously fit into the country style, which is replete with wooden furniture and wicker elements. And no one would guess that the decoration of the spent "kinders" became the highlight of the interior!
