These bright and colorful Easter Egg Crafts for Kids are just what you need this festive season! Get creative with paper, yarn, tape and more!

You know when a famous movie releases, and soon everyone is talking about the many ‘Easter eggs’ hidden within it? They’re talking about references or secrets tucked away in scenes of the movie, which can only be caught by the vigilant observer. Well, that’s certainly not the kind of Easter egg we’re talking about today!

The movie reference originates from the tradition of hunting for Easter eggs in the grass, presumably left by the Easter bunny. But where did that tradition come from?
