Use kinder surprise eggs for more than the chocolate and enclosed toy! They are perfect for making despicable me minions.
The images depict a very basic one (this is meant for kids to do after all, not us!)
All you need is a black permanent marker, a keyring attachment, a minion overall template and a kinder surprise egg. Use googly eyes for the best result!

Types of play engaged: creative, dramatic/imaginative

Suggested further activities: playdough minions, watching despicable me (and 2), making more characters, using kinder surprise eggs to make other things i.e. musical instruments
