If you love to decorate eggs but don't eat them or if you just want a fun new Easter idea: Take glitter, yarn ,construction paper(cut up in small pieces/shapes) and beads and glue them to the outside of the plastic eggs. If you want to fill the eggs later make sure not to get glue in the egg where it pulls apart and make sure decoration is not across this seam. Put on aluminum foil to dry. You can also decorate the outside of the egg carton with similar items. Once dry you can fill them and display them in the egg carton or basket or hide them in nooks and crannies around the house for a fun Easter Egg Hunt. The best part... No stained fingers.

Groundhog Tunnel Game
Have the children line up in a row. To make the tunnel, have them stand close together with their legs apart. Have the last person in the row start the game.
Have the first groundhog crawl through the tunnel on his or her stomach. When the groundhog reaches the end of the tunnel, have him or her stand up & become a part of the tunnel while a new groundhog starts wiggling and giggling through.
