Today I am featuring a HUGE mega-roundup of ways to use plastic Easter eggs. I’ve got ideas for sensory play for little ones, math and language ideas, science experiments, music and sound activities, arts & crafts for kids of all ages, and games and active play egg ideas!
You are guaranteed to find a use here for all those leftover plastic eggs this year – and who knows? maybe you’ll even go out and buy some more now – just for fun!
