Confetti Filled Eggs
Here's an unusual Easter egg that's a hit with everyone. Young and old alike have a great time throwing confetti-filled eggs at each other and watching their expressions when the egg smashes and the confetti comes out. You might want to make this an outside activity as it tends to be messy. Use the biodegradable confetti for outside.
A reader writes: Don't throw them, it hurts!!! Break them over someone's head, it's less painful that way!! (First, you break it in your hand then smush it into someone's hair)
This project is rated EASY to do.
What You Need
- Raw eggs
- Food colors or dyes

How To Make It

- Once finished, place a small piece of scotch tape over the opening of the egg.
Tips
Rebecca writes: I recently read about an easier way to do the confetti filled eggs posted on
your site. Instead of having to poke and hole and blow the egg out, just
crack it normally and then after it's clean and dry, fill with confetti and
glue together using tissue paper to seal the crack. Thought it sounded like
a lot less work and just thought I'd share. I love this site! Keep up the good work.
