Color Changing Dragon Egg Hunt

Supplies for the hunt:

• Color changing Easter eggs (I found ours at Walmart for a few dollars)
• Small toy dragons (we used dragons from the Good Luck Minis Fantasy Pack from Safari Ltd)
• Buckets, baskets, bags, or containers to collect the eggs

Add a dragon to each plastic egg. We had a enough for each child to find three eggs. Hide the eggs outside. The eggs change color when the sunlight hits them.

Let kids take the eggs in and out of the shade or create a shadow over the eggs to see the colors change. The egg colors are pretty pale to start. Then, they get darker and brighter in the sunlight.

Open the eggs and see what dragon treasures are inside.

Lily had fun dressing up as a dragon for her 3rd birthday party. I sewed her dragon skirt. I found the dragon wings and mask on Amazon.

The dragon egg hunt was a big hit with the kids. The dragons make a great party favor, too.
