Oh man Bob I did my sixth or seventh or something science project on dropping eggs into things. Not from things BUT I learned something cool and you could demonstrate this for shits/giggles, then make your own egg-dropper and see if it still worked.
I tested out different materials, like packing peanuts and bubble wrap, and by far the best one was peanut butter crunch cereal. Barely any structural damage to the eggs. It was really weird. (Though packing peanuts probably aren't designed to cushion falling eggs, so much, I was still surprised. I guess it might have been related to the size of the cereal allowing it to sort of "flow" because there were so many individual pieces or something??? I DUNNO)
You might want to test this at home first so it doesn't end up being a huge disappointment though.
