It might not be obvious to everyone just how many uses you can find for your large plastic easter eggs once Easter has passed. You have been filling them with candies and treats for your little ones setting up Easter egg hunts and the like. But how can you reuse all these eggs you bought?
Uses Around the Home
If your plastic easter eggs don't have holes in them you can pull them apart and use them as little dishes to put wood varnish in if you are finishing an area of wood like a dining table. By doing this you can avoid ruining some of your more finer dishware as these can just be thrown away afterwards, or cleaned and put back in the garage to use again.
How about using a large plastic easter egg as a makeshift organizer to put thumbtacks in for use in your home office? But don't limit yourself to the home office, you can put some plastic easter eggs in your garage to keep all your screws of the same size together. This will save you time next time you're looking for that certain size screw, nut, or bolt.
I like to put my batteries in some of my large plastic easter eggs and then put them in fridge as this keeps your food protected if a battery ever leaks, and your batteries in tip top condition. And as a mother's day present from the kids, why not poke a few holes in one of the plastic eggs, decorate it, and fill it with potpourri.
Personal Uses
Ever have the problem of laddering your pantyhose from sharp edges in drawers or suitcases? Well know you can store each pair in a disused large plastic easter egg and close it shut. This will keep them smelling great and stop them getting damaged. Similarly, you can store all your jewellery / watches / earrings etc in a plastic easter egg shell whilst you are travelling to prevent them getting damaged, as well as to hide them from potential thieves.
Your large plastic easter eggs are also good to keep loose change in and eye liner brushes / mascara brushes rather than having them loose in your bag where they could get damaged or dirty.
Other Uses
Here are a few other uses for the large plastic Easter egg which don't fall into the categories above. Use the eggs for kids games such as color matching or memory games with something inside each egg.
Use half an egg for a scoop or mould to use at the beach for sand castles. The dome shape given by using half an easter egg on a sand castle can add some great detail to any castle you build in the sand.
We did a great thing for our kids last Christmas, we put loads of goodies and treats in some old large plastic easter eggs and wrapped them up with Christmas wrapping paper. The kids were thrilled as they had something to open in their stocking, and we were happy as it kept them busy whilst we made breakfast on Christmas morning.
These are just a few ideas of what can be done with larger plastic Easter eggs when its no longer Easter. Just be creative with the imagination.
