As Easter Basket Fillers
This is the traditional use for filled eggs. Kids love the surprise of opening up all those eggs on Easter morning!
For a Family (or Group) Egg Hunt
Scatter the eggs around your yard and let the kids find them! You can hide them as easily or as hard as you want. We have a yearly tradition at our house of a Halloween Egg Hunt!
As an Indoor Scavenger Hunt
Assign each child a color of egg and have them search the house for just that color. Make sure to keep count of how many eggs you hid of each color!

I love these idea so much! I do themes for the eggs for each of my grandkids, one loves dinos, one loves makeup, etc. I might need to adjust this plan a little because the youngest one got nail polish last year, which was a huge mistake. I ended up needing a carpet cleaning but she insisted that it was art haha. Thank you so much, these ideas are so so helpful.
