During the Bunny Day event in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, islanders can gather various Easter-exclusive eggs, one of which is the Earth Egg. The Earth Egg is distinguishable by its salmon-pink shell covered with yellow, white, and magenta-colored stars. You can sell this egg for 200 Bells or consume it for a single point of energy. However, the primary purpose of this item is its ability to be used as a crafting resource for exclusive furnishings. For instance, you can use Earth Eggs in New Horizons to craft the Bunny Day Table or Bunny Day Arch. Recipes include wearable cosmetics, such as the Earth-Egg Outfit and Egg Party Hat.
Finding Earth Eggs in Animal Crossing New Horizons
As its name suggests, Earth Eggs in Animal Crossing: New Horizons come from the “earth” or ground. More specifically, you’ll need to equip your Shovel and dig up marked holes on the grass or beach. The spots will appear as star-shaped cracks in the ground and are identical to the nodes that can contain Fossils or Gyroids.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons content creator Crabby Chrissy has confirmed that any Bunny Day event eggs, including Earth Eggs, can spawn on your island and appear on Nook Miles Ticket Islands and Kapp’n Islands. Therefore, if you are struggling to find marked holes on the ground on your home island, consider traveling to a different isle in search of more Earth Eggs. If you’re aiming to complete Bunny Day and craft all the exclusive items related to the event, Game8 claims you’ll need a total of 34 Earth Eggs.
