Our kids go crazy when we pull out the Easter stuff and they rediscover the plastic Easter eggs. It’s almost like Christmas morning…almost. They play hide and seek over and over with those plastic eggs until I’m going bonkers and ready for a different activity.
Last year I gave the kids a STEM challenge and asked them to build egg towers with their plastic Easter eggs. They had so much fun competing to see who could build the tallest and most stable tower.
The activity definitely raised the bar for me this year, so I’m planning ahead with these creative ways to use plastic Easter eggs. There’s a little bit of everything here from yummy treats to fun activities to creative crafts and even a little learning.
