I didn't know that there are lots of videos in youtube about unboxing or more like cracking eggs with bits of surprises inside. If I had know that these videos would attract many kids, I would have uploaded Izhi's homemade egg-hunting experience a long time ago.
I tried looking for online shops who sells these kind of chocolate eggs, and found out that it was unreasonably expensive. Like its P150 for 2 pieces of eggs, and I'm like what! So I did not continue with the purchase, instead I asked Waldy if he can find small eggs in the market with candies inside. Unfortunately, it was out of stock that day.
Last night, we went at Ate Joy's house for Kuya John's birthday dinner, and I told her that Yuri is so into eggs lately because of these videos that he keeps on playing with the marbles egg decorations in their house. Luckily, she saved some of the eggs from their previous egg-hunt and gave it to Yuri.
So today, I bought some small toys like cars and motorcycles which Yuri really likes ( because he's also so into wheels ) for P5 each, got him some candies for P1 each, and my milkyway mini bar and voila! I have egg surprise for him!
Imagine, I only paid P45 for all the toys and candies I bought instead of buying that expensive egg.
I think its all about being creative. Toddlers and kids doesn't really care how expensive or cheap a toy is, as long as its fun to play with. They are simple and full of imagination.
I'm giving myself a pat in the shoulder for doing what I think is best to let Yuri experience what it feels like to open an egg with a little prize inside, and for not overspending. Hahaha!
