This is a great idea – allows each child to collect eggs of their color to make sure candy is divided up evenly. You could do this and have age groups find certain colors as well – this would ensure children of only certain age groups would get certain types of candy.

Dip hard boiled egg in blue dye first (only half) to desired strength of blue color for pants – when dry do the same with the other half but in yellow. When dry glue on googly eyes like shown in examples. Use sharpie marker to create smiles and rings to top and bottom of eyes. Pictured they used black yarn to create band for glasses but you could just finish with sharpie marker. Very cool and the kids will love their new companions.
I am always amazed at peoples creativity – and these are two prime examples of that. If you are able to wire these structures would make a great addition to your home and it would be at a great price. The second picture shows usage of two different types of mason jars being used which creates an even better presentation in my opinion. You might think that these would only work in a country or cabin decor but i think if used in even a modern home these could be a very interesting piece and conversation starter. Almost like a piece of art.
Ok – A little weird – but would be a definite conversation piece. These are the cardboard type of egg cartons painted two different colors of green. Ornaments and ribbons are affixed to create a ‘finished’ design.
A book lover would love this in their home. It is something a little different but is very creative and can be made with little expense since most have books around to use to create it with.
