So, we’ve put together our top five suggestions, and there’s not a foil-wrapped egg in sight…

Eggstra- Ordinary Crafternoons

Feeling crafty? Revive the old European Easter tradition of hard boiling and painting chook’s eggs with food colouring and let the kids come up with their own fabulous designs. Once everybody has created their masterpiece, you can peel off the shells and enjoy them in a delicious potato salad.

If you want to get tricky, and you’re not keen to eat eggs after they’ve been painted, search YouTube for how to empty the raw egg with a sharp knife and a syringe, so you can save the contents, and paint the shells with non-edible materials like glitter and paper. You can always avoid using real eggs altogether by cutting out Easter egg shapes from paper and getting the kids to colour them in.

Chalk it up

Send the kids outside to colour in the footpath with ‘egg’ chalk ($4.50 from Big W). Remember to photograph their artwork before hosing off the street.
