So, it’s that time of the year again, where eggs rule the roost and bunnies hop along with baskets full of treats. And what better way to celebrate Easter than with a good old fashioned egging?
Egg-citing Instructions
Now, I know what you’re thinking. “Isn’t egging something you’re supposed to avoid doing?” But hear me out. This kind of egging is not the kind where you target your arch-nemesis with a carton of eggs. This is a way to spread some Easter cheer and have some fun with your friends and neighbors.
Here’s how it works: first, print out this adorable “You’ve Been Egged” sign (link included in the data – thanks, Passion For Savings!). Then, grab a carton of plastic eggs, fill them up with candy or little toys or even sweet notes, and hide them around your target’s yard. Leave the sign on their door to let them know they’ve been egged (in a good way, I mean).
Why Egging Can Be So Egg-cellent
Okay, now that you know how to set up an egg-tastic egging, let’s talk about why it’s a great thing to do. First of all, it’s a fun way to - wait for it - egg-splore your creativity. You can come up with different hiding spots, fill the eggs with different things, and even get your friends in on the action to make it a group activity.
Plus, it’s a great way to spread some Easter cheer, especially if you know someone who could use a pick-me-up. Imagine waking up to find your yard filled with colorful eggs, each one holding a surprise inside. It’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face (unless you’re not a fan of surprises or Easter or happiness, in which case…I don’t know what to tell you).
Egg-ceptional Ideas
So, you’re sold on the idea of egging (in the good way) but you’re not sure what to put inside the eggs? Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered with some egg-cellent ideas:
- Mini chocolates or candies
- Small toys or games
- Sweet notes or riddles
- Easter-themed erasers or stickers
- Money or gift cards (if you’re feeling extra generous)
But what about hiding spots? Here are some creative egg spots to get your egg-citement flowing:
- In a tree or bush
- Under a lawn ornament
- In a mailbox or hanging from a flagpole
- On a swing or slide
- In a birdhouse or terrarium
Cracking Up
I hope this has inspired you to try out egging (again, in the good way) this Easter season. And if you’re still hesitant, just remember: even if it goes wrong and you end up egging yourself instead of your target, you can always laugh it off and try again next year.
Happy egging! And remember, always egg responsibly (which, in this case, means only egging with plastic eggs and not throwing them at people or houses or cars or…you get the idea).
