I love these ideas! We made something similar to the flowers but instead of using tissue paper, we used coffee filters we had dipped in our Easter Egg dye and allowed to dry. They had a tie-dyed look and allowed us to incorporate color mixing learning into the activity. You could do the same thing anytime using food coloring too!

Just a quick update – I teach Sunday school and today we had a small egg hunt then made these with our eggs, the kids LOVED it. I always like testing things on the older kids!

I’m laughing so hard because I thought my toddler was the only one that demanded 2 of everything! Love these ideas. I’m totally calling these polkadots from now on.

Aww! These are great ideas! My kids love playing with the plastic eggs too, but these ideas will be great for getting some extra mileage out of them.

I never throw them away, but I don’t do anything with them, either! I finally convinced my in-laws not to buy any eggs at Easter because I reuse them year to year.

One of our field students just showed me a neat trick we’ll use tomorrow at home: If you squeeze the larger half of the egg, the smaller side will pop off. I think I’ll set up targets though so the kids don’t shoot each other.

You can also use it as a number activity you take one half of the egg and write the number and the corosponding number of dots on the bottom and its a matching game!

Love the flower idea especially! I’ve made lots of wet felted eggs this year but we still use some plastic ones. The spring flowers are great for followup after Easter! Thanks for all your great ideas. I just posted a matching game too that Sierra had lots of fun with this am.
