18. Have a glow-in-the-dark egg hunt.
If you have bigger eggs, you can just fold up an entire glow-in-the-dark bracelet (cheap at Dollar Tree stores) and slip it into plastic eggs. To get the spattered look, cut up bracelets over a sink, and put a small section inside each egg. Close the egg and shake (any loose paint washes off easily with water).

19. Throw eggs filled with paint for a fun art activity.
Drain a dozen eggs by using a push pin to make several small holes on top of each egg. Once youāve made enough push-pin holes, you should be able to easily break away a portion of an egg. Create a large enough hole to pour paint through, then watch your kids have fun creating modern masterpieces!
