You get six rainbow eggs, and the fun is in the hatching — they sit in water and gradually crack open to reveal a little unicorn inside. It behaves like a magic trick with a built-in delay.
That waiting is the part children love. It turns a toy into an event they keep checking on, which is considerably more engaging than something that does everything the moment it’s unwrapped.
Having six means you can spread them out rather than hatching the lot on Easter Sunday. One a day across the week keeps the novelty going far longer.
The bright pastel shells also look the part in an egg hunt setup, sitting among the chocolate ones without standing out as the obviously non-edible option.
They work as party favours or birthday add-ons too, so if you don’t use them all at Easter the rest keep perfectly well in a cupboard until the next occasion.
It’s a good pick when you want something that isn’t lollies or plastic tat, and that gives children something to talk about for more than an afternoon.
It suits Easter baskets, party bags and classroom treats, and it’s cheap enough to split across several children without much thought.
Set them up somewhere you don’t mind a bowl of water sitting for a day or two — a laundry bench rather than the middle of the kitchen table. They need to be left alone, and a bowl in a busy spot inevitably gets moved mid-hatch.
