I've seen them made into acorns with jute string, strung on mini lights with a small hole drilled in the egg for the light, and as a teacher, I used them for teaching word families and other literacy skills.

You could even try to paint them like Ukrainian Pysanky
If you have kids coming to your door for Trick'or'Treating, give the eggs out instead of candy! It would be a delightfully different 'treat', and kids love to use them as caches for miniature items, stickers, etc.
Or, donate them to an elementary school. Teachers will use them for games, crafts, and displays. More often than not, teachers end up paying for basic art materials out of their own pockets as there is insufficient budget in schools for these types of resources.

My daughter has painted them and used for a multitude of crafts. You can do a Mardi Gras wreath in purple, green, & gold. Valentines with red & white. Patriotic with your country's colors. Simple elegance with silver or gold.

Can decoupage them and put in a bowl
Stick them around top of Baskets or push in wooden skewers to make decorations that can be used for lots of things. Suspend them with shirring elastic to hang on tree's etc. Decorate Easter Hats & Bonnets. Cakes etc.
