Toddlers and big kids can definitely help with this edible project. Drop some off at the easter open house, and keep a tray for an afternoon treat little bunnies can munch on.

2 1/4 cups coconut flakes
1 egg white
Colorful egg-shaped candies*
Cupcake tin
Non-stick spray
Mix all ingredients together [except the candies] in a large bowl. Spray inside of cupcake tin. Shape 'nests' into the cupcake tins. Indent each nest with a spoon.
Bake at 350 for 15 minutes.** After they have cooled, place a few 'eggs' into each nest.
*we used malted eggs, my absolute least-favorite candy, but most realistic looking. So use malted if realism is the look you are going for. Otherwise, any candy will do, and you probably have a ton of jelly beans.
** I baked mine for longer b/c I wanted the brown nest color, but they really shouldn't be as dark as the ones I made- unless you are into ultra-crunchy, which I kinda am, but nobody else 'round these parts really is.
*RockStar* Tip
You can also form the shapes in the palm of your hand, instead of forming the nests in a cupcake tin.
