talkbacktoronto@ctv.ca. >> Ken: HERE'S WHAT I THINK... I THINK WE NEED SOME SUNSHINE FOR THE LONG HOLIDAY WEEKEND. ANWAR KNIGHT JOINING US NOW WITH AN EARLY LOOK AT THE FORECAST. I HOPE YOU'RE NOT PUTTING ALL YOUR EGGS IN ONE BASKET. >> Anwar: WELL, KEN, I NEED ONLY ONE EGG WHEN IT'S THIS BIG IN MY BASKET. YOU SEE. YOU KNOW WHAT, IT'S GOING TO BE A PRETTY GOOD LONG WEEKEND, THAT'S FOR SURE, AND CELEBRATING EASTER HERE, AND BROADCASTING LIVE AT ST. AGATHA CATHOLIC SCHOOL, AND TEACH THE TRADITIONAL OLDEN STYLE OF DOING EASTER EGGS, AND STARTED OUT WITH BLOWING THE EGG, AND A LOT OF THE KIDS HAVE NOT BLOWN THE EGG, AND POKE THE HOLE IN THE EGG -- I'M SURPRISED YOU DIDN'T ASK FOR AN APP. WE'LL GET A LESSON LATER ON, AND THIS IS A WELL KNOWN UKRAINIAN TORONTO-BORN ARTIST, AND THIS IS THE BUSIEST TIME OF THE YEAR FOR HER, AND DONE A LOT OF CANVAS WORK THAT IS PUT IN CALL ARE AS ACROSS THE CITY, AND HERE WE GET THE BASICS OF PYSANKY. IT'S A INTRICATE ART, AND PASSED FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION, AND THIS IS THE LAYERING PROCESS OF BEESWAX AND DYES, AND CATCHIA WITH THE LESSON, AND FIRST; HOW ARE YOU GETTING? I THINK THE HOLE NEEDS TO BE BIGGER, AND WE NEED A PIN. WE'RE ALMOST DONE, AND DON'T SUCK IN, YOU'RE BLOWING OUT. GOOD STUFF, AND THE KIDS WORKING ON THE EGGS. AFTER THE EGGS ARE EMPTIED OUT, AND WE WORK ON DOING COLOURS, AND LET'S LOOK AT THE FORECAST, AND START WITH THE SATELLITE RADAR PICTURE ACROSS THE BOARD. I'LL SHOW YOU A LOT OF CLOUD MOVED INTO THE AREA BECAUSE OF THE TROUGH LINE AND SEE THE BLUE, AND THERE IS SNOW NORTH OF THE CITY, AND MAY SEE MORE OF THAT AND EXPLAIN THAT LATER ON, AND THE CURRENT TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE BOARD, AND COOLER THAN YESTERDAY. THAT IS FOR CERTAIN, AND 7°, AND IT'S A SEASONAL NORM. 7 AND 7 IN PEARSON, AND 4 IN WINDSOR, AND NORM OF 9. IN PETERBOROUGH, 5°, AND THE NORM IS 7. WE'RE BROADCASTING AT ST. AGATHA CATHOLIC SCHOOL IN SCARBOROUGH. BOY, YOU'RE TURNING RED. THE EASTER FUN CONTINUES. BUT NOW IT'S BACK TO YOU INSID ? I'M PAT FORAN. I'LL HAVE THAT STORY JUST AHEAD. >> Anwar: PYSANKY IS THE UKRAINIAN WORD FOR HAND COLOURED EGGS, AND COLOURS HAVE SIGNIFICANT. >> GREEN IS A GOOD EGG TO GIVE TO SOMEBODY WITH A GREEN THUMB, AND LOVES TO GARDEN, AND BLUE IS SYMBOLIC FOR PEACEFUL BLUE. CLEAR SKY OVER YOUR HEAD. I LIKE THE LITTLE ANIMALS, IT'S REALLY NICE GIFT FOR SOMEBODY WHO IS A FARMER. >> Anwar: FOR THE LIVESTOCK. >> LIVESTOCK. AND THEY ARE GOOD FERTILE LIVESTOCK, AND ORANGE, LIKE THIS ONE OVER HERE IS REALLY GOOD SYMBOL FOR FRIENDSHIP. THESE EGGS ARE KEEPSAKES AND HAVE INTERESTING SYMBOLS IN HERE, AND LONGEVITY AND HAPPINESS. >> Anwar: THERE'S A STORE WITH EVERY EGG. THESE KIDS ARE LEARNING THE TIME-HONORED TRADITION OF PYSANKY, AND WE GIVE YOU A LIVE LESSON NEXT AS WE BROADCAST AT >> Zuraidah: OKAY, ANWAR. I'M SURE THERE ARE LOTS OF KIDS WHO ARE HOPING FOR AN OUTDOOR EASTER EGG HUNT THIS WEEKEND. CAN YOU MAKE IT HAPPEN? >> Anwar: SATURDAY WILL BE THE DAY. SUNDAY, PERIODS OF RAIN. BUT ON SATURDAY, WITH THE SUN, YOU'LL HAVE TO EAT THE CHOCOLATE EGGS QUICKLY. IT WILL MELT. >> Zuraidah: I'M SURE THERE'S NO PROBLEM IN THAT REGARD. >> Anwar: I THINK YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. IN CELEBRATION OF THAT, MAYBE A NEW TRADITION AT THE HOME WILL BE COLOURING THE EGGS. KATCHYA, LET'S WALK THROUGH THIS AND THE TOOLS. THIS IS CALLED WHAT? >> THIS IS KISKA, AND IT IS A UNIQUE TOOL, AND IT IS THE WAX, AND IT SIMILAR TO SILK. THE SAME TECHNIQUE. >> Anwar: LIKELY SPECIALTY CRAFT STORE, AND THERE IS AN OPENING AT THE TOP, AND MELTING THE BEESWAX CANDLE, AND AGAIN USING AT ASTORE, AND USING A SIMPLE TEA LIGHT, AND SHOW HOW YOU HEAT THAT UP. WE HEAT THAT UP IN THE FLAME, AND THE IDEA IS DROP THE BEESWAX IN THERE? >> YES, EXACTLY, AND HOT BEESWAX, AND FLOWS NICELY OVER EGG, AND FLOWS OVER THE AREA, WE WANT TO KEEP THE BROWN COLOUR, AND COVER IT WITH THE BEESWAX. >> Anwar: WHEREVER THE BEESWAX IT, AND THAT WILL PREVENT THE DYE FROM GOING ON, AND HOPPING OVER HERE, AND SHOW THIS EXPLANATION HERE, AND USING GREEN. BOY, THE KIDS ARE REALLY GOOD. >> YES. >> Anwar: WELL DONE. >> ALMOST FINISHED EGG HERE. >> Anwar: SHOW THIS TO THE CAMERA. >> AND HOUSE AND CLOUDS... >> Anwar: EXPLAIN YOUR DESIGN. >> I DID AN "A" FOR MY NAME, AND POLKA DOTS BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. >> THAT'S OKAY. >> Anwar: WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO IS DROP IT IN THE DYE. >> YES. >> Anwar: OKAY, DO THAT. AND DROP IT IN. >> PUT IT ON A SPOON. >> IT'S YOUR EGG, AND THAT IS YOUR PROJECT, READY. HOW LONG DOES IT SIT IN THERE? >> COUPLE OF MINUTES. >> Anwar: LET THAT SIT, AND SHOW THE FINAL PRODUCT TOWARD THE END, AND STRESS TO MOM AND DAD, AND THE DYE STAINS THINGS, AND PLASTIC ON THE TABLE, AND WEAR THE GRUBBY CLOTHES, AND THIS IS A FUN THING FOR THE KIDS TO DO AND THE FAMILY CAN DO TOGETHER. >> INEXPENSIVE, AND CARTON OF EGGS, COUPLE OF DYES, AND USE FOOD COLOUR, AND USE A KQ-TIP AND MAKE IT MORE CLEAN, AND USE A Q TIP, AND MAKE IT COLORFUL AT THE TABLE. >> Anwar: BOY, ENOUGH EGGS FOR THE WORLD'S BIGGEST OMELET, BY THE WAY, TAKEN OUT OF THESE.
