I leave a bunch out in a basket, just sitting around. You could hot glue a bunch to a weath form, and add some pretty spring ribbon???

LOVE :* the wreath idea! Too cute! With mention of the little hats, you could make people or animals out of them. I did that one year with real eggshells that I blew the middles out of. Wiggly eyes and construction paper.. and you won't even have to dye them!! :D
I've got to go get me a glue gun!! ;)

Let us know what you end up doing!

I have some ideas to share: :idea:

Good Egg Number Game
Need:
Egg shapes from construction paper
plastic eggs
Arrange chairs in a circle with seats facing outward. Cut eggs from paper and number each consecutively. Tape 1 egg to each chair. Players walk around chairs to music. When music stops, players sit on chairs, and adult turns away so she cannot see who is sitting on what number. She then calls out a number. Player sitting on the chair with that number is called "a good egg". Player must find a plastic egg (filled with candy or prizes)with that particular number on it. Continue until all children have received an egg. You can also play music along with this game!



Egg Counting Fun
Need:
egg carton & plastic eggs
Write numbers on the side of each egg (1 - 12). Also write numbers on the bottom of each egg slot in carton. Then ask your children to match the egg to its correct slot! You can also put the corresponding number of jelly beans in each egg for an added counting surprise!

Egg Tree
The seasonal tree lends itself to Easter. Get a branch with no leaves from outside, and "plant" it in a pot of plaster. Let set. Carefully poke a hole in either end of your plastic egg (or if you would rather use real eggs, blow the insides out... these can be used for scrambled eggs, baking etc.) Then string fine wire through (if you’ve used real eggs have the children paint eggs with pastel colored tempera paints.). If you want to decorate them... try adding wiggle eyes, paper ear’s, etc.) Be sure to put name on eggs, using masking tape. Hang eggs onto tree branches. Let the children take their egg home when it's time.

Egg Carton Place Card (makes a cute cubby marker)
Cut two cups from a cardboard egg carton for each place card. Glue the two cups together (bottom to bottom). Cut a chick from const. paper. Add features with paper and glue the chick inside the cup. Print a name on a piece of paper and glue it to the front of the cup - put a few jelly beans inside if you want

Also made bunnies for dd's class out of the large size plastic eggs and felt, pom pom's and wiggly eyes!!!! DD was in awe this morning when she saw them!!!!!
