Easter Eggs aren't just plain pastel eggs anymore. If you shop early you can find almost any kind of egg you want. Sports balls, superheroes, glitter, chicks, carrots, cars, all one color, you get the idea. So get out there a little bit early and eggs will be yours for the choosing.
Salad Spinner Eggs
We have yet to Dye eggs this year. But, we did buy some fake paper eggs that are quite sturdy and had some fun with those. You can get them at Walmart for $1.98/per dozen or Target for $3/dozen and most likely any craft store in your area. They are quite sturdy and will hold up to being handled by the littles better than actual eggs. We put a few in the salad spinner with paint and let them spin them. The eggs came out looking marbled and pretty colorful.
Paint Themed Eggs
The same paper eggs from above we painted into ninja turtles and lions and put a baby footprint on one for babies first Easter. The kids looooooved them because it is what they are loving at the moment.
Easter Egg Tree
It takes a bit of time to string up the eggs but the end result is pretty cool and the kids really liked decorating a spring tree full of blossoms for Easter.
Make Egg "People"
By hollowing out an egg and planting a few grass seeds in it you can draw a face on the egg and then wait for the grass/hair to grow in leaving you with small egg people with a dozen different expressions. Click here to see our how to.
Shower Squeegee Eggs
Poster Board Eggs, finger paint, and a shower squeegee kept our little ones entertained and giggling on a rainy afternoon. Once the eggs dried they got to color them again with markers over the paint. Click here to see our how to.
Easter Egg Nest Bundt Cake
Chocolate bundt cake with chocolate frosting and chocolate cadbury eggs dumped in the center to make an egg nest. Whats not to love? The green around the eggs is sprinkles found on the cake aisle in any grocery store.
Easter Bunny Egg Dippers
Anything that makes your life easier with littles is a plus. These do that. .98 cents at Walmart. They are for egg dying to get the eggs in and out of the color cups. But our kids have been carrying them around for a week using them for a little bit of everything.
