    - Hard boiled eggs and get the kids to draw faces in them, then either let them take them home or go roll them down a hill somewhere.
    - Crushing egg shell activities (sensory).
    - painting with egg shell in the mix to have a textured finish.
    - Dyed marbled eggs
    - Shaving cream marbling

    There's an experiment where you put a hard boiled egg in vinegar to make them bouncy.

    You just add food colouring to the shaving foam and let them roll the eggs around to create a marbling effect etc. the bolder the colour the better! x

    I freeze whole eggs ( just not in the shells! )

    but I would be going the meringue route!

    Pickled eggs!- I love these and it would teach children about how to stop foods going off.

    how many kids do you have each day - you have 5 days.

    I reckon omlette of a different flavour every other day - 1 egg per child and you plus one or two for luck

    on the days in between, baking
    if you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got

    If you have older ones you can do something with it to make it bouncy. I think you can anyway but I may have made it up

    and if you are having picnics - hard boil them, they'll keep for a day or two that way or make egg mayo with them. xx

    Lucky you! Make some Frittata American pancakes then freeze them. Then every egg rebates hard booked egg, egg sandwiches etched for a few days
    Oh and extra roughage prunes apricots as eggs are binding! Ha ha

    Target practice. Use a water pistol or catapult. Good for children's hand / eye coordination. They make less mess if boiled first.
