Egg hunt - in Chinese!

This year, I decided to give riddles in Chinese! I added hanyu pinyin for the more difficult words, especially for Yang and Yu. 

Can you guess?
  1. 如果有面包,可以把我放在上面慢慢烤,好好吃的!
  2. 薯片在哪里?还有糖果呢?要看电影了!
  3. 这里的知识满满的,让我一页一页翻…
  4. 快点找到我!不然我会硬到咬不下去!
  5. 我喜欢在这里陪爸爸工作…
  6. 这里又大又黑。但是我不怕,因为有披萨的味道!
  7. 我不需要加热,为什么把我放在这里呢?
  8. 别理我,我太困了…
  9. 我喜欢在这里陪妈妈打字看书…
  10. 救命啊!好多夹子快把我夹死了!
Answers:
  1. Toaster
  2. TV cabinet
  3. Bookshelf
  4. Freezer
  5. Papa's desk
  6. Oven
  7. Microwave
  8. Bed
  9. Mama's desk
  10. box of cloth pegs - this was a bonus round, found by Papa in the end :p
These spots are no different from last year except that they had to read Chinese riddles :p We did the egg hunt yesterday as we would be out today at Mum's place. Maybe I should have done this at Mum's place - new spots to hide!

Yu found this not from the riddle as he spotted it earlier!


He was keeping his teddy bear under his blanket and saw an egg there but he kept real quiet. Too quiet. My suspicion increased when he asked whether there was any toy in the egg. Coz the eggs this time were Cadbury eggs wrapped in colourful foil, not Kinder Bueno which they are familiar with.

So when I gave him his first riddle, he went straight to his bed without reading it!! I had to make him read it later *.*

All found!


Of course there must be some drama. Last year, Kai was unhappy with the toys in his Kinder Bueno. This year, Kai thought his riddles were the most difficult and so the game was not fair. They were not the most difficult. In fact, I purposely gave him two super easy ones knowing he would complain! The easiest was for Yu definitely - more so I didn't have to write so much hanyu pinyin! 

Anyway, we almost took him out of the game after his first egg. Then he didn't look carefully for the remaining eggs and ended up crushing the bookshelf one coz he just anyhow flipped the books about *.* We have been having difficulties with Kai these days but more on that another day...
