 I made mystery egg shakers for my kids to use this week based on someone else's suggestion. I just thought I would share what I put in them:

 rice

 pinto beans

 decorative gemstones

 salt

 macaroni

 staples

 corn flakes

 pennies

 coffee

 thumb tacks

 mini marshmallows

 Kids will find the eggs, find someone who has an egg that sounds the same, and make guesses about what is in the eggs.
