It's no secret that sticking things onto other things is great fun. Inspired by the beauty of Faberge Eggs, I piled an assortment of embellishments onto the craft table, as well as some sequined eggs from my local Dollar Store and announced; 'let the games begin.'First, I asked the girls to sort the embellishments into piles of matching colours; all the reds here, blue there, and so on. This was a great game which lasted longer than I expected, and even generated some lively debate between my two daughters; if an angel-doll has a green skirt with blue dots on it does she belong to the green or blue pile? Is gold more orange or yellow? and so on.
Next I gave them a big blob of temporary-tack each, and let them chose a sequined egg. With the temporary-tac they then started to stick the things in the matching coloured-pile to their egg. We ended up with some pretty eggs, and some pretty weird ones too. (We made a whole rainbow of eggs, but I'll use that picture another day.)
Decorating eggs for Easter, of just because, is a fun activity for toddlers and a great preschool project. Of course, if you use temporary-tack instead of real glue or sticky dots, you can pull it all apart when the game's finished and do it all again!
Don't forget the Easter printpapers are available, with templates for invitations, cards, food flags, bag tags, 3 designs of bunting-pennants, and more!
