Posted on October 9, 2017 by Kerry

How to Make Cascarones aka Confetti Eggs

Posted on March 23, 2017 by Lucy

Cascarones or Confetti eggs have been a part of our Easter festivities for many years. We love making them, decorating them, & of course cracking them on each others heads. Learn how to make cascarones for yourself. It’s easy & so fun! This is an updated version of a craft that I posted in 2013. I thought it was one that many of you may have missed and since it’s such a fun Easter activity, I’m re-sharing it today. The pictures have been updated but the rest of the post remains the same. Hope you love this craft as much as we do!
