About
A plastic Easter egg is a lightweight hollow shell designed to hold bite-sized candies and small toys.
These snap-together containers are modeled after natural hen eggs, which typically measure around 2 to 2.5 inches (5 to 6.4 cm) in length. Although this standard size is most common for holiday hunts, novelty versions range from miniature one-inch shells to jumbo containers over 8 inches (20 cm) tall. Because the shell is thin molded plastic, an empty egg weighs less than a typical wooden pencil.
From Wikipedia
Easter eggs, also called Paschal eggs, are eggs that are decorated for the Christian festival of Easter, which celebrates the resurrection of Jesus. As such, Easter eggs are commonly used during the season of Eastertide.
