    Hannah Scott said:  These temporary tattoos are fun, whimsical ideas for Easter egg stuffers. The designs are appropriate for young children who may have never experienced the fun of a temporary tattoo before. Note: they come in a booklet, so you'll need to trim individual tattoos to put inside the eggs.

    Kelly R. said:  For a spin on the Easter egg scavenger hunt idea, decorate and customize one of these blank puzzles with a clue leading the kids to find their Easter basket gifts (or the first in a series of clues). Separate the puzzle into individual eggs, and the kids will enjoy piecing the clue together after finding them all. This set also comes with a few extra blank puzzles, which are a fun addition to the Easter basket so each kid can customize their own!
