Extraordinary Eggs
Our eggs go over easy with families who like quick holiday crafts. These 3-D decorations are so beautiful you'll have them hanging around long after Easter.
1. Draw ovals on recycled file folders with Crayola® Washable Markers. Make two identical ovals for each egg. Cut out eggs with Crayola Scissors.
2. With markers, decorate both sides of two ovals exactly the same.
3. Cover your work area with newspaper. Dip a Crayola Paint Brush in water and spread the marker color around the eggs. Dry.
4. Brush the other side of the eggs with water. Dry.
5. Add more color and designs with markers.
6. Cut a line halfway across both egg shapes from the edge to the center.
7. Fit the two slots together so that the two oval shapes meet in the center to form a three-dimensional egg.
8. Punch a hole in one end and loop ribbon through it to hang.
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.
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.
String-Like Materials—Includes string, raffia, lacing, yarn, ribbon, and other similar material. Children 3 years and younger should not be given any string-like material that is longer than 12 inches. Close adult supervision is essential whenever children use string-like material. When crafts are to be worn around the necks of children 8 years and younger, attach the ends of the “string-like material” with clear adhesive tape, which allows easy release of the bond if the craft becomes entangled or caught on equipment. For children older than 8 years, the ends of the “string-like material” may be tied and knotted.
