Basket Full of Eggs

Plan a pretend pickled egg picnic! Fill a colorful container with decorated eggs. Crayola® Color Wonder™ Markers color only on Color Wonder paper, so only the eggs will be colored.

1. Use Crayola Scissors to cut a basket, bowl, or bird nest from colored construction paper. Attach it to a second piece of colored construction paper using a Crayola Glue Stick.

2. Cut egg-shaped ovals from Crayola Color Wonder Paper.

3. Decorate your eggs with Crayola Color Wonder Markers. Make stripes, dots, zig-zags, bright pink pickled eggs, and other imaginative designs. Color Wonder Markers will only color on your Color Wonder Paper.

4. Glue the eggs to the basket.

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.

Color Wonder™—Wash hands well with soap and water after use.

Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.

"Our kids made eggs in a nest cards for spring. They are so curious about chickens and other birds."
Bridget B., recreation program leader.

"My son enjoys our family tradition of painting Easter eggs. We have Baskets Full of Eggs in every window!"
Martha N., mother of 4-year-old.

Latvian Easter traditions include a game in which players pair up to tap colored hard-boiled eggs. Each player has one egg. First, partners tap the wide ends of their eggs, then the narrow ends of their eggs, and finally take turns tapping one wide end on one narrow end, and then one narrow end on one wide end. When a player's egg breaks, that player must leave the game, but the partner continues tapping eggs with another player. The game continues until only one player is left with an unbroken egg.
