Year after year, I always see crafty ways to decorate eggs, like dyeing or glueing glittery objects on them, and I wished that I have the time to decorate at least two dozens or more of these eggs. Since you want a decent number of eggs for kids to find, I spent more time preparing them than the actual game of hunt. A few ways I could prepare the eggs were using the following:
Hard boiled eggs: They're ok, but if the children couldn't find the eggs, days later you would by tracing the scent of rotten eggs coming from your sofa or wherever they were hidden.
Emptied raw eggs: To empty the eggs, prick both ends of the ends with a pin and blow the contents out from one hole. Sounds easy? No. I tried this many times, and it hurt so much to blow the eggwhite and yolk if you have tiny pin-holes. My ears almost burst from blowing excessively! If you want the contents easily out, you have to make a hole as big as a button which is too big if you bought a small 50g egg or quail eggs.
Chocolate eggs: They're ok, but just be warned that it will be hard to stop your children from eating ALL of their finds, so you just wish and pray that they either find only 1 or none.
So, I was 'hoppy' to find a dozen plastic eggs for $3, which cost as much as real eggs, hanging in the supermarket, and I think they're the best eggs ever to use for the hunt!

Why?
Has the approved "tick" of the Australian Heart Foundation - it's cholesterol and sugar-free - you've just saved yourself future scary visits to the doctor and dentist.
They don't break and crack - my kids throw them high in the air, knock 2 eggs against each other, put them under their trucks and run over them.
They float - they fell in a pond and there was no need to get your scuba suit to dive for them.
They don't melt - very good when you want to hide outdoors and it's scorching 30C and above.
They are non-perishable - no need to fear that you're filling up rodents and other animals around.
Completely recyclable - you can use them next year and year after and year after...
HAPPY EASTER!
PS. can somebody hide the eggs for me to find?
