Basket Full of Eggs

Why

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.


Steps

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.

Where & When

"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.


Interesting Info

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.
