Make LEGO Eggs for Easter
LEGO eggs are a fun and geeky way to celebrate Easter. They're simple to make and very effective when displayed as a group.
Steps
- Assemble the supplies needed. These are listed below under "Things You'll Need".
- Boil the eggs if you haven't already done so. Then allow to cool.
- On one side of the egg, glue a row of three evenly spaced mints. Run this down the length of the egg.
- Leave a gap between this row and glue another row of three evenly spaced mints running alongside the first row.
- Leave to dry. Repeat with the other eggs.
- Paint the entire egg and over the mints, all one color. For the best effect, have at least a minimum of three eggs, one yellow, one red and one blue.
- Allow to dry. The drying eggs can be rested on a wire cooling rack or on parchment (baking) paper to dry completely.
- Arrange for a display. Place a soft material such as shredded paper or plastic in a basket. Carefully lay down the LEGO eggs so that the mint bumps face outward. The whole display should look like little Lego eggs.

- Small raised mints (smoker's mints)
