This darling You’ve Been Egged Printable set is the perfect set to start a domino effect reaction of fun festivities on your neighborhood block. This new yearly Easter tradition is going to be one of the first things you will want to do each spring.
If you have ever had your kiddos experience “You’ve Been Booed” for Halloween, you know how fun and exciting it is to try to figure out who it was that left you the fabulous treats on your porch. The kids are equally excited to make up the goodies for their neighbors and create a sneak attack on their homes without being caught.
You’ve Been Egged orchestrates the same scenario during the Easter time. So fill those eggs and start deciding who you are going to “egg!”

👩 How to Choose Who to Egg
It’s really the fun part of this printable is making the decision on who is going to receive your treat filled eggs.
Kids may want to try to egg their friends first in hopes that they will get egged back.
Consider egging someone that you don’t know or someone that is new to the area so they can start to fill the neighborhood spirit.
Don’t forget that adults like to have fun too. Look at older neighbors on your block. Giving a little Easter surprise would be a delightful surprise.
🍬 What to Fill in the Eggs
This one is all dependent on how large the eggs are that you choose to give. The smaller eggs won’t fit too much so start with the medium sized ones that can hold something for kids to find and feel like they have a treasure.

❓ FAQ
This is the spring time/ Easter version of “you’ve been boo’d” where you gather up treats and leave at a neighbors door without them knowing it was you. They then put a sign on the door that they have been “egg’d” and they will do the same to another neighbor.
