1. You can place a toy in a stack of eggs and search for the one with the prize.
2. You can put a capital letter on one end of an egg and its lower case letter on the other. Break them open, mix them up, and have your child search for the match. I did eggs with matching capital letters for JDaniel.
3. You can put together a set of toys or pictures and have your child put them in the egg that has the beginning letter on it.
4. You can put a number on one end of the egg and a set of corresponding dots on the other end. They can then match the tops and bottoms or place the correct number of objects in the egg.
5. You can mix up the colors of the tops and bottoms then have your child match the colors correctly.
6. You can make maracas with whole grain circular cereal. Just watch that is doesn’t come apart and become a bowl for a snack.
7. You can put objects in the eggs and have the children match the sounds like Activity Mom did this week.
8. You can put them in a plastic spoon and try to carry them around the house.
9. You can sort them by colors.
10. You can use them like cupcake liners for Muffin Tin Monday.
11. You can make a nest with blocks; fill it with eggs, place in a toy bird, and talk about signs of spring.
12. You can read the list of 50 Uses for Plastic Easter Eggs found of Geeky Housewife’s blog.
Thanks for stopping by my blog! I like this idea. We have tons of plastic eggs I reuse every year for our hunts. Great upcycling idea!
This is good. got an idea for my art craft.
thanks!
WHAT a genius idea…
Great post! Thanks for the fun ideas.
Great ideas here! We did a few of these when my boys were little, plus hiding them over and over in mini egg hunts. I’ll need to remember these for when The Princess is bigger. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by Sugar Tails again. I love when you visit!
And I hope you get to try out the Resurrection Rolls. I know JDaniel’s too little to appreciate the meaning now, but not the fun! Happy Easter!
Great tips! I have to do #4.
Love those plastic eggs ~ LOL!! I’ve been on the Recreation Committee for years in our large neighborhood. One of the things we do is a big Easter Egg hung for kids ages 0 to 10. We divide them up in groups also and we all fill hundreds and hundreds of eggs ~ It’s lots of fun and we just keep recycling those eggs! Happy Easter!
Great answers, so fun. Have a happy Easter.
Great ideas! At preschool the kids had to match up the two parts of their name.
Great ideas! We have our first easter egg hunt tomorrow…little girl has no clue what she’ll be doing. Fun!
I love this post! It’s funny too, because write now as I write this Juliet is playing with those eggs!
Thanks for all the great ideas!
When I could still find catnip pellets, I’d put some inside and use these at cat toys. They can smell the ‘nip inside and go nuts, but can’t open them. And because of the shape, if you roll it a little, it actually rolls back to you in a little circle. So my cat had a blast batting it around. Plus because the catnip was in pellet-form, it made fun rattle-y sounds.
But be sure to always watch little ones. They can get a half stuck in their mouths and create suction and it’s hard to get half an Easter egg out from a panicked little mouth, with nothing to hold on to and a slick, slippery surface.
