If desired, paint plastic spoons with craft paint and allow to dry.
Open a plastic egg and fill one half of the egg about halfway full with your choice of small item (rice, beads, beans, etc...). Close the egg. Once closed, the egg should be about 1/4 full.
Using washi tape, tape the seam on the egg closed.
Face 2 spoons towards each other with the filled egg between them.
Wrap washi tape around the spoons and the egg to secure everything in place. Continue to wrap the until the top of the spoons and the entire egg are covered. Smooth out the washi tape so that it forms the shape of the egg.
Let the little ones enjoy shaking their homemade Easter egg maracas!
