- Write your countdown saying on the front of the egg. make sure you don’t write it too close to the edges, as the cups will cover it.
- Fill each cup with trinkets and candy.

- Countdown to Easter by opening a cup every day!
Note: If you would like to hang this egg, you’ll need to put a cardboard backer on it. I suggest a strong piece of cardboard, a cardboard box or cereal box.
