Easter Egg ideas

I admit, sometimes I read my magazines a little late. So, sorry for the "late" post here, but maybe you will remember it for years to come? In the April 2010 edition of Disney's "Family Fun" there are a few creative or different ideas for Easter eggs.

My favorite was this one:

Instead of filling plastic eggs with candy or money, this mom buys a 20-25 piece puzzle and puts pieces of the puzzle in each egg. Then, after the kids hunt all the eggs, they have a 2nd activity to keep them busy (and to do together).

Another helpful hint was this one:

When dying eggs, they tend to fall off the spoon or the wire tool and make a mess. This mom has learned that eggs will fit nicely inside of wire whisks, which can be used as the "dye dipping" tool. She says her youngest child (who in the picture appeared to be 2 years old at the most) was even able to a trusted egg colorer.
