Small nic-nac shelves allow you to display a number of small objects in an interesting way. Even though you probably won’t find these exact same items, you can display what ever you can find--crosses, sheep, candles, small arrangements of flowers, and your own decorated Easter eggs. You can blow the contents out of real eggs, and decorate them, or you can make them of a modeling clay such as hearty. The nice thing about fake ones is that they won’t break--your son can bounce them off the wall or ceiling, and they will still be good as new.

The same dough eggs can be added to a wreath, hung in a window, or hung from a dowel on a wall. Hanging real eggs can be scary because one wrong move, and all that hard work ends up in tiny pieces. I don’t think I am especially clumsy, but I do tend to drop them several times before I get them all hung, so I only use non-breakable eggs for hanging! My daughter made the letters spelling “EASTER” when she was in elementary school, so your children can help you with this decoration, too. Hint: Eggs don’t matter if they spin, but letters do, so be sure to run thread through 2 places, or it will drive you crazy trying to get them to all face the right direction. Or, make sure they hang against the wall or window so they can’t spin. The small egg wreaths on the right were purchased at a hundred yen store, but could easily be made for the same modeling clay such as Hearty. The eggs on these wreaths are interspersed with little bundles of twigs.

Until you have that Easter egg hunt, your plastic eggs can serve as a decoration, piled high in a cute basket. If you don’t have many eggs, fill the basket with shredded paper or plastic, then pile the eggs on top. A stuffed teddy bear or lamb looks adorable with an egg in it’s lap, too.

These ceramic crosses, purchased at a 100 yen store, echo the colors of the containers below them. This triplet fills the space better than a single cross would.
