Plastic Easter eggs are used to hold candy for egg hunts during the Easter celebration, which involves the Easter bunny and colored eggs. They protect candy from dampness and come in various colors and sizes. They can be reused and are inexpensive.

Plastic Easter eggs are empty egg-shaped plastic shells used to fill candy for egg hunts on Easter Sunday. Just as the modern Christmas celebration involves Santa Claus and presents, the modern Easter celebration involves the Easter bunny and colored eggs.
Easter is the celebration of the Christian belief that Jesus Christ was resurrected a few days after being crucified by the Romans. Easter always falls between the end of March and the end of April, but the exact date changes every year as it depends on the lunar cycles of the Easter calendar. Easter egg hunting during Easter celebrations is often enjoyed by Christians and non-Christians alike, and plastic Easter eggs are popular containers for holding candy eggs.

Using plastic Easter eggs allows you to hide the candy outdoors, come rain or shine. The plastic outer shell of the egg helps protect the candy being added inside from damp grass or garden dirt. Hard-boiled colored chicken eggs are not usually placed inside plastic Easter eggs, but mostly chocolate or Easter candy wrapped in foil is used to fill the eggs. Some Easter egg hunts only include candy eggs, while others also include hard-boiled dyed chicken eggs to hunt.

Plastic Easter eggs are usually sold in bags of six or more and come in many different sizes and colors. Plastic Easter egg colors can be bright or pastel but orange, pink, blue, purple, yellow and green are the most common colors used for both types. Single color packs are usually available, but multi-colored plastic Easter egg bags tend to be more common. A plastic Easter egg opens in the middle and closes by snapping the two halves back together.

Another advantage of plastic Easter eggs is that they are sturdy enough, so they can be used for several Easters. Even if they’re only used for an Easter holiday, plastic Easter eggs are pretty inexpensive and add a lot of fun and color to Easter egg hunts and other celebrations. An easy yet festive holiday idea is to use a filled plastic Easter egg as a place marker during an Easter party or brunch. A marker can be used to write each guest’s name on the egg.
