What a fun Halloween activity for children of all ages. Why not have a Halloween Egg Hunt? No one says that an egg hunt is limited as just an Easter activity?
I have a bag of those plastic Easter eggs with my holiday items – and for some reason I tend buy more each year. Though if you don’t have any eggs laying around, Amazon (50 for under $10) sells them year-round.
This year, I decided to find some other uses for Plastic Easter Eggs. Simply pull out the permanent markers and white-out to transform the plain eggs into the recognizable faces of Halloween’s favorite ghouls and goblins.
Decorating the plastic eggs might be a little challenging for younger children. But, the egg hunt is what they will really enjoy!
You will need just a few items to transform the Easter Eggs into a Halloween themed activity. Fill the eggs with candy or little Halloween treats then hide them in the house or in the yard for a fun Halloween Egg Hunt. This activity tops the list of our 13 Halloween Party Ideas.
What You’ll Need to Make Plastic Egg Ghouls and Goblins
- Plastic Easter Eggs
- Permanent markers
- White- out
- Candy and other treats for filling the eggs
Let’s Be Creative!
- Start by sorting through your stash of plastic Easter eggs for the best Halloween colors. Colors that I selected were green, orange, purple and blue.
- Use permanent markers to draw faces on the eggs. There is no template for the faces, but they are pretty easy to copy. I tried several different colors of markers and always went back to the fine tip black Sharpie marker. The black Sharpie had the best coverage was was easy to work with. Mistakes can be wiped away with a little rubbing alcohol.
- For some of the designs, I also used white-out. This is pretty easy to work with, but it does dry quickly. Put it on first then outline or accent with the black marker.
- There is no need to get too carried away with the designs. Make them simple as you might have quite a few to do. A dozen or so took me about 10 minutes to decorate.
- Fill with candy and treats and you are all set for a Halloween Egg Hunt!
