Craftykins // Confetti Filled Easter Eggs

Have you ever heard of cascarones?  They’re a fun Easter tradition of cracking confetti filled eggshells over others’ heads…my littles get such a kick out of the colorful mess!

This is a simple project, although a bit time consuming waiting for things to dry {so don’t start the night before Easter!}  To make cascarones, you’ll need:

empty eggshells

food color and vinegar or egg dye tablets

confetti, glitter, birdseed or other fillers

patterned tape

Start by hollowing out your eggs.  I’ve found this is easiest by poking a hole in the top of the egg with a pin and then making a larger hole on the bottom for the whites and yolk to drip from.  Rinse the empty shells and reserve the insides for omelets or a batch of cupcakes!

After the shells are clean, dye them as you would hard boiled Easter eggs.  I like egg dye tablets for their vibrancy, but food color and vinegar works well.  Just be sure to submerge the entire shell by letting the dye/water mixture fill the shells.

Let the shells dry completely.  I usually leave them overnight, just to be safe.

Fill the shells with confetti or glitter about 3/4 full.

Using a funnel or scrap of paper rolled into a cone makes this much easier.

After the shells are full, cover the hole with washi or patterned tape.

Then have fun showering each other in confetti!

    So fun! We usually poke a hole in either end of the egg and then blow on one end. Makes getting rid of the insides a lot easier 🙂 Never filled them with confetti before though! I know what I’m doing with my nieces and nephews this year!

Copyright © 2021 · Babiekins Magazine | A Trendsetting Kids' Fashion Magazine and Online Community for Parents and Children Alike · Since the Southern California birth of Babiekins in 2010, the magazine has grown from into an internationally-recognized print publication with a global circulation and now a thriving online community. We are more than a kids’ fashion magazine. We search everywhere for inspiration, and go beyond trends to bring you fashion, style, decor, design, books, DIY, parties, and playthings. Our readers look to us to keep up with the best and most up-to-date concepts in the children’s market worldwide. We have an eye for quirk. We’re high-fashion, but we value whimsy over tradition. Playful childhood is more important to us than making kids into copycat adults. We believe life is beautiful, life is valuable, and life changes when you see it through the eyes of a child. We seek to transcend skin color, language and zip codes and bring out the real, wild, magical creativity inherent in every child. And behind Babiekins is an optimistic team of mothers-turned-editors, working from home, often with our own little babiekins climbing on, under and around the desks. We want to encourage you, and challenge you to see something different — something special — in yourself and in this world we all share. Welcome to Babiekins!
