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.

This project is rated EASY to do.

What You Need

  • Raw eggs
  • Food colors or dyes

  4. 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.
