Let’s find the best: 10+ activities with Easter eggs
Here’s a not-so-secret fun fact: I love plastic Easter eggs for YEAR ROUND activities. I know, I probably should keep them “special” and put them away each Spring… but I just can’t do it.
The shape, the size, they open, they close, they colors. I’m telling you: this is one of the greatest activity supplies.

Activities with Easter eggs are the best – and so versatile
Plastic eggs are full of possibilities. They have limitless uses in:
- Science
- Art
- Sensory
- STEM
These relatively simple and unsuspecting holiday decorations are actually a goldmine of opportunities. This may be an “Easter” post, but I’m kind of hoping you’ve found this in the off season.
We keep our eggs out year round – and I’m just fine with that.
Eggs don’t have to be for “Easter-only”
Did you know you can find Easter eggs year-round?
I stumbled on that gem a few years ago but it’s true. If you ever run out of eggs… a certain small online retail location has them at the ready.
