Two handmade carrot crafts made from orange and green paper, each featuring a smiling face with large cartoon eyes.

Easter Egg Maracas

Once the egg hunt is over, those plastic eggs can become musical maracas. Kids fill a leftover plastic Easter egg with a handful of dry rice or beans, tape it shut (often sandwiched between two plastic spoons as handles), and decorate the outside with colorful tape or stickers.

Give it a shake, and you've got a mini instrument – children love making music with their own handmade egg shakers, and it's a great way to keep the fun going after the candy is gone.
