17. Freeze juice in plastic eggs for Easter popsicles.
Via Kailo Chic
Use a nail to poke a hole into the bottom of a plastic egg. Then, use an icing/piping tip as a funnel, and fill the egg with fruit juice. Place the filled egg in an empty egg carton, then poke a round popsicle stick into the hole, and freeze until firm or overnight.
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 you’ve 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!
20. Help kids make jelly bean jewelry.
Use a needle and thread to make these edible accessories.
21. Make mini cheesecake nests.
