Put a twist on the traditional easter egg hunt with these confetti-filled eggs -- a Mexican tradition with fun built right in. It's considered good luck to have one of them broken over your head

Here's how to make your own cascarones:

1. Crack around the bottom of each egg. carefully remove and discard the shell "cap."

2. Pour the egg yolk and white into a bowl. (save them for breakfast!) rinse egg shell with water.

3. Dye egg shell to desired colour; let dry.

4. Fill shell halfway with confetti or glitter (or even small cereal).

5. Glue tissue paper circle over bottom to seal egg.
