Drowning in empty Plastic Easter Eggs? Don’t throw them away. Recycle them into part of an imaginary show.

As we they sat eating Easter Eggs today. We were making funny faces with them a bit like the Muppets and trying to make them talk. ( Too much chocolate)

We had altogether too much fun. Since we had a few this is what we made

Tried to convince the boys they had their own Loch Ness but they decided they have some new dinosaurs instead. I need to tell them the Nelly story.

Imaginary play- can’t beat it!

Am I a mean mummy – I just keep the eggs from one year to the next and reuse them – saves buying new ones?

Very creative! Come up with some more easter crafts soon! My little brother and I have lots of empty plastic easter eggs. Any ideas besides the caterpillars?

I have a few links to friends. We’re not in a place now where they have plastic Easter eggs.
