How to Make and Operate Confetti Eggs

The confetti egg tradition began in France. During Easter celebrations, men and women would smash these eggs onto the head of a potential romantic interest, and if the feeling was mutual, then the couple would "hook up." The custom moved over the Atlantic to Mexico, and the sexual connotation was lost, and cracking an egg on someone's head was a general sign of playful affection. Our family has adapted this Easter tradition to be more environmentally friendly, replacing the confetti with birdseed. It's a great addition to any Easter egg hunt, especially for high energy little kids who like to play tricks on their elders. Enjoy!
Note: Both the making and breaking of confetti eggs are messy, but completely safe for anyone over 2 years old. Using birdseed cuts down on the mess, since it doesn't stick around as long as confetti. Definitely an OUTSIDE activity!

Step 1 To begin

Take a raw egg and use a pin to poke a small hole in the bottom. Break away the shell until you can fit the tip of your little finger into the hole.

how did you get some of your eggs to be so shiny? they look great!

[Shad0w-H0und]

try painting them with glue when the paints dried, it can make stuff shiny

[cursed_kross]

I've always filled them with confetti or glitter, I'll have to try it with bird seeds. Probably less pain cleaning up after it since the birds will eat it >_<

Ever tried putting a small fire cracker inside and setting it off? Wondering if it would work kind of like a confetti cannon.

Do you just dump the eggs' contents down the sink? That would be rather wasteful.

You could dump the eggs into a bowl and fry them or use them for baking. :) We used to poke and drain eggs when we made eggshell Christmas ornaments at our house and that's what we did.
