There is something for young and old, the careful and most drafts, the studious and the imaginative. In this small selection that we have concocted for you, you should find your happiness: animal Easter eggs, fruits, vegetables, junkfood, design, grahiques, fun, green … the choice is vast.

To make these Easter eggs, you need … eggs. The ideal is to prepare them a few days before making your DIY.

Prepare the eggs
The most effective is to drill a small hole at the top of the egg with a pin.
Then drill a bigger hole (but not too much anyway) at the bottom of the egg and blow – it can hurt the cheeks if the top hole is really small, if, if – you will get the inside of the egg that you can perfectly eat.
Then rinse the inside of the egg with water and allow it to dry.

Here's a great idea: Easter eggs from farm animals. Simple to make, they have a really nice rendering. It's up to you to let your creativity run for even more inventiveness. Why not try a donkey with long ears, a horned cow or a duck with a pretty beak?

And why not use quail eggs for mini versions of baby animals?

Classic but always fun for children: Planting in the eggs. After breaking, emptying, devouring, cleaning and drying, you have three solutions:
The very simple : Put cotton on the bottom and place dry lentils in it. Water very regularly and wait a few days. It is also the fastest solution for impatient children
The varied: Place soil at the bottom of the egg and plant seeds in it. Water every day … and wait.
The Wow: Plant small plants or flowers in the shell in which you have previously placed soil. Remember to water.

Do not forget to decorate the eggs by drawing their eyes, nose, mouth (glasses, mustaches …) so as to have the impression of seeing hair grow on these funny heads.

Always Easter eggs – cacti, but multi-layered for more balance and realism.
