I pick them up throughout the year and keep them for making masks....when the kids are finished their masks..I hot glue their mask to a pair of these sunglasses (minus the lenses) and you have a mask that they can easily remove and put on! No tying - no pinches from the snapping elastic!
Coloring Eggs
There are many ways to color an egg! Here
are some ideas to help you get your imagination flowing! Before coloring
your eggs see Making a Perfect Boiled Egg
Marbled Eggs: Apply small pieces of scotch tape on the egg. Dip in a light color, dry it, place more tape pieces on top...dip it again in a slightly darker color. Continue these steps until you get the effect you want. Peel off the tape!
Cracked Easter Eggs: Gently crack a hard boiled egg all over. Place the cracked eggs in a food coloring/water solution (with vinegar to set color) for about 10 minutes. Remove eggshells. You will have a marbled look on the surface of the peeled egg. (Use non-toxic food coloring - so the eggs are safe to eat)
Crepe Paper Eggs: Boil water (add vinegar to set color) and add several pieces of crepe paper or streamers to the boiling water. Place eggs (a few at a time) into the water and leave for about 10 minutes.
Vegetable Dyed Eggs: Saffron = yellow dye; Beetroot = fabulous purple; Onion Skins = mottled brown; Anything that will stain clothing - will stain an egg! Simply boil water (add vinegar) with the vegetable of your choice! Leave hardboiled egg in water for at least 10 minutes and check! Experiment with vegies, fruit, coffee, tea.
Egg Collage
Glue interesting things to a colored egg:
sequins, buttons, lace, ribbon, rickrack, small pressed flowers, stickers
Mosaic Egg
Empty out a raw egg by blowing.(to do this poke a pin hole in each
end). A child can help but it takes some lungs to get it all out.
Then the child can glue tiny torn tissue paper on the shell. To preserve
it you can coat it with an art shellac or clear finger nail polish and
it will be quite sturdy and beautiful.

5 or 10 2L plastic pop bottles
sand
white & pink felt
cotton ball
permanent black magic marker (or acrylic paint)
pink pom pom
glue gun
Fill the bottles about 1/3 way with sand for weight. Hot glue the lids
on. Decorate front as a face - add felt ears, pom pom nose and draw
(or paint) on bunny face. Add the cotton ball to the back of the
bottle for the tail. Add a ball and go bowling!
Hop, Stop, Flop
Take three paper plates and make them into signs:
-Rabbit hopping (hop)
-Stop sign (stop)
-Rabbit sleeping (flop)
Use masking tape to designate a bunny trail on the floor (or let the
children hop freeform). If you hold the hop sign, children hop along the path. If you hold up the
stop sign, they stop. If you hold up the flop sign they scurry back to their beds (pillows on the floor).

Where is Your Egg?
Played like "Doggie Doggie where's your bone?" Have one child sit in the middle of the circle, and hide their eyes.
Give another child an egg to hide behind their back. Have all the other children put their hands behind their back.
Chant the following song:
Bunny, Bunny
Your egg you can't find
Somebody has it
check behind!
The child in the middle gets three guesses. Then the child who had the egg goes into the middle.

Recipes
Making a Perfect Boiled Egg
To make hard boiled eggs with yellow and fluffy yokes, start with cold
water. Bring to a rapid boil, remove from the heat and allow to steep
for about 15-20 minutes. Allow to cool completely before coloring
or decorating.
Are your eggs fresh? Here's a test! Place a raw egg in a glass of cold water.
Heat first 4 ingredients on stove at medium heat. Stir until it boils.
Take off stove and add rest of the ingredients. Place wax paper in muffin
tin, pour in mixture and when cooled a bit, mold to shape of nest in tin
using a teaspoon. Refrigerate for 2 hours then pop out nest. Sprinkle flaked
coconut dyed with green food colouring on top for grass and add speckled
Easter eggs.
