What are the dimensions of each egg?

Can I use these for outdoor decorations?
While durable, it is recommended to seal decorated eggs with a weather-resistant sealant if used outdoors to protect the wood and decoration from moisture and sun.
Are these eggs suitable for food?
No, these wooden eggs are intended for crafting and decorative purposes only and are not food-safe.
How many eggs are included in a pack?

Can children use these eggs for crafting?
Yes, with adult supervision, these eggs are safe and ideal for crafting with children due to their smooth finish and manageable size.
Do I need to sand the eggs before decorating?

Troubleshooting
Uneven paint absorption
Apply a thin layer of primer or gesso before painting for a more uniform finish.
Wood splintering during crafting
Use fine-grit sandpaper to smooth any rough edges. Ensure tools used for carving or shaping are sharp.
Glue not adhering well
Ensure the surface of the egg is clean and dry. For heavier embellishments, consider using a stronger adhesive like hot glue or E6000.

Care:
To maintain the quality of the wooden eggs, store them in a dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

For undecorated eggs, a simple dusting is sufficient.
