Learn how to blow out an egg leaving the hollow shell intact in just 3 easy steps! Make Easter decorations and crafts that last forever and can be reused again and again!
Put a small piece of tape over both ends of the egg.
Take a needle or straight pin (or something else small and pointy) and poke a hole into the top (skinnier) end of the egg, through the tape.
Wiggle the pin around a bit to make the hole just a little bit wider than the pin and to help break up the yolk inside the egg.
Flip the egg over (over your bowl to catch anything that drips out!) and poke a second hole on the other end of the egg. Make this hole a little bigger than the hole on the top.
Shake the egg up to scramble the insides.
Hold the egg over your bowl (bottom/fatter side down) and blow through the hole at the top of the egg. Keep blowing until the egg shell is completely empty.
Rinse the egg in warm soapy water, making sure to clean out the inside of the egg as well as the outside.
Set the egg aside to dry, making sure the bottom/fatter side is pointing down so the water can drip out of the egg shell.
Once it’s dry you can decorate it however you’d like, and it should last for years!

Notes
It can be kinda hard to blow out the insides of the egg, like blowing up a really really tough balloon, so make sure you get a good seal around the egg with your mouth so that all your air is going into the egg. If it's too hard, try covering the holes and shaking the egg again to break up the insides more, or you can make the bottom hole slightly larger so the insides can come out.
