String Eggs
These eggs are easy and fun for kids to make. You’ll need craft string, water balloons, white glue and water. Blow up the balloons in various sizes. Dip lengths of string in a mixture of equal parts glue and water. Wrap it around the balloon and let it dry for 2-3 hours. Pop the balloon and pull the pieces out of the egg. Use another piece of string to make hanging decorations, or display them in a basket.

Egg Carton Chicks
You’ll need an empty egg carton, yellow craft paint, glue and construction paper in yellow and orange to create these adorable chicks. Fill them with jelly beans, mini chocolate eggs or M&Ms. Cut 2 connected cups from the egg carton; paint them yellow. Cut wings, feet and beak from construction paper and glue them on. Use a marker to add eyes.

Mason Jar Chick
A small jar becomes an adorable treat holder when filled with Starburst candies. Tape on yellow cupcake holders for wings and draw a face on the glass using a sharpie marker, or if you’re feeling crafty, cut a beak and feet from construction paper. Sure, you have to pick out all the yellow candies from the bag, but since they come in red and pink, too, use your imagination and make another cute critter.
