With all due respect to Mr. Bunny, eggs really play the starring role at Easter. Here, FamilyFun magazine gives you plenty of ways to let them shine: color them with crayons, fill them with goodies, perch them atop frilly pedestals, even give them a snorkeling vacation. That’s right — get ’em out of their shells! — Naomi Shulman

Surprise Inside Eggs An un-eggs-pected treat hides in each of these colorful orbs. Kids can hunt for them, smash them open and enjoy. To keep the con- tents secret, Mom or Dad can handle the job of filling and capping. For extra fun, make a “golden” egg holding a dollar. 1. With the pushpin, make a small at the end of each strip.

MELTED-CRAYON EGGS When the most humble of art supplies meets the shell of a just-boiled egg, the crayon wax softens, and the colors swirl together in a magical way. The results are fast, fun and gorgeous. To begin, hard-boil white eggs. Remove them from the hot water with tongs or a slotted spoon, dry them, and rest them in an empty egg carton or on plastic bottle caps (an adult’s job). Color them with the crayons’ tips or remove the paper coverings and use the crayons’ sides. For a speckled effect, grate a crayon and sprin- kle the bits over the eggs. The waxy eggs are very slippery, so take care when turning them to color the under- side. When you’re done coloring, leave them to dry for about an hour.
