This thread is for the 15 Mumsnetters who tried Universal’s Decorative Egg Wraps with their DCs.

Here’s what Universal say, “These shrink to fit Egg Wraps featuring your favourite movie characters the Minions, E.T. and E.B. The Easter Bunny are great fun to watch – place one around a medium hard boiled egg, add to boiling water and they will shrink around the egg to make a cool Easter breakfast or the basis for movie themed Easter Egg hunt! Better yet, these wraps are free with selected kids DVD’s starting from just £3. Titles include Despicable Me, Hop, Coraline, Moshi Monsters, Mr Bean and Curious George and many more.”

I've never seen these but would love to have a go with the kids.

Haven't seen any on sale so far? Hope they available shortly

I've never heard of egg wraps, stick to the tradtional paints

Wow I've not seen these before, they look fab! I'd have to say though it kind of takes the creative element away from egg decorating. They'd be fun to use once or twice, but overall I think I'd rather stick to pens, paints, gluing and general chaos!

I'd never heard of egg wraps

No I have never used them but what a lovely idea and probably a lot less messier than our random gel decorating and our icing and sprinkles attempts!

I've never heard of wraps for Eggs before but they look a great idea - sound easy and quick and a bit less messy than using felt tip pens!

Never used them but they look interesting.

We normally just use felt tips or food colouring in the cooking water.

Have never even HEARD of them, let alone TRY them!! Will have to keep my eyes peeled for them!

Have never used the wraps. We use food colouring to paint our eggs.

Non-tester, not heard of them. Like the idea of blowing the eggs and then wrapping them as decorations - we normally just decorate cardboard 2D eggs and laminate them - hang them off branches in the garden etc.

Not seen these or even heard of them but they seem l;ike a great idea

We've not used egg wraps. And we don't generally decorate any eggs, I might start doing so now though

My girls and I used shrink wraps on eggs for the first time last year and they were so clever. The designs were pretty and it was so easy to get a very professional looking effect!

Never heard of egg wraps, they sound fab though and think my daughters would think same. we decorate eggs with all sorts of odds and ends :) like these :)

Non Tester: I've never heard of egg wraps, I always just painted them!

Me and the children decorate real eggs, blow out the egg into a bowl then decorate with paint and varnish them, My children love doing this it’s their second best thing to do after eating the chocolate from there Easter egg hunt x

Non-tester. I have not heard of Egg Wraps but they sound like a great idea and I am very curious to try them. My DC will be decorating Easter eggs in the classroom on the day before the holidays

I have not heard of them. I used let my children decorate the shells of hard boiled eggs with felt tipped pens. They used to draw faces on them and stick wool on them for hair.

Non-testers:

I'd never see them before, they really looks really fun.

I've not heard of these. We usually use felt tip pens and boil them with a teabag first.

No, I've never tried egg wraps. We usually just use felt tip pens to decorate our eggs. My daughter does like to stick on gold stars too!

I've never tried them, they do look good fun though.

Non tester...
I've not head of these before but definitely intrigued

Never heard of egg wraps, have only really used food colouring, felt tips and sequins and wool, obvs not eating the eggs, they get added in to the Easter Egg hunt for fun !
