I discovered how to blow out an egg many, many years ago.
Crafts and spring projects were a big a deal when my kiddos were Easter bunny believers.
I also have a son whose birthday falls around Easter.
So, I was always on the lookout for birthday crafts and party favors that fit the spring theme for his birthday.
My method is quick and effective.
AND, keeps the mess to a minimum.
Tools
sharp pin or needle
straw
wooden skewer
glass or cup to put egg contents
spoon or tool to tap skewer
eggs
Directions
- Leaving egg in carton, gently pierce the top of the egg with the pin to make a small hole.
- Place the skewer (pointed side down) into that hole.
- Gently tap the top of the skewer with the back of the spoon.
- Once the skewer is inside the egg, slide the skewer down until you reach the bottom of the egg.
- Pierce the bottom with the skewer point. You will be able to feel the egg carton underneath the egg with the skewer.
- Gently move the skewer back and forth to pierce the yolk.
- Remove the skewer.
- Holding the egg in one hand, and the straw in the other, place the over the glass or cup.
- Making sure the straw over the hole, blow through the straw into the hole in the egg until all of the contents fall into the glass.
- Rinse the egg with cool water.
- Using the straw, blow any remaining water out of the egg into the sink.
- Set the egg aside to dry.
- Repeat with remaining eggs.

I am able to blow out 18 eggs in approximately 10 minutes.
I have never shattered one while I am blowing them out.
Leaving the egg in the carton while you pierce the egg is the secret to keeping the egg intact.
The carton gives your fragile egg some support while you are working with it.
It also keeps the potential mess confined.
