Confetti Filled (Real) Easter Eggs

by B.J. B

We make these for our 2 and 4 year old granddaughters and they love them!! We fill them with confetti and little surprises and cover the opening with tissue paper. They like to smash them on the ground and find the surprise. You could also fill them with bird seed or something that will compost into the ground but our girls are into sparkle so we just sweep up the confetti afterwards.

You can use an apple corer to make the opening in the eggs. Unfortunately we didn't discover this until our 2nd batch of eggs. You just need to be very careful. We removed the egg and rinsed the shells with hot water, and let dry.

  @Pamela Baggett-Wallis Hi Pam. They are a Mexican tradition, right? I was trying to think of the name the other day and I could only remember that it started with a C. Thank you.

That's right. It is a Mexican tradition. We used to make them as kids. We just called them confetti eggs.
