What you'll need:
- broken down cracker boxes
- old catalogs, magazines, paper, etc. {we also used unclaimed child artwork}
- sissors
- glue
- marker
Draw an egg-shaped oval on the inside of the box. The one above is free-handed; at school, we used a stencil.
Cut up magazines and paper into strips. Our strips were all 1/4 to 1 inch wide. It doesn't really matter how long they are - it's kind of fun if they're different lengths.
Cut out the egg-shape and apply glue to one side.
Stick paper strips to the egg-shape until it's entirely covered.
At this point, the children were pretty curious about why I had covered up the egg-shape...
They were SO excited to see that the egg was on the other side - it was a little like a magic trick! Love them!
Cut around the egg-shape, using the edge of the cardboard as a guide.
Turn it over, and now you have a lovely paper egg! Oooooooo! Aaaaaaahhhh!
AND, if you are so inclined, staple, glue, or tape several of these eggs to a longer strip of paper attached at the ends, and you'll have a fabulous crown!
I picked Hubs up from work wearing the crown and these sunglasses, and he was definitely impressed!
Happy weekend!
