Well after a week of the pharaoh watching over every keystroke we have finally reached the Easter weekend.
Finally it was time to start decorating our Easter tree…
We made some watercolor eggs…
- The simplest easiest craft really. We began by blowing eggs, a little hole made in the top and bottom of an egg with a pin and blowing away, every time we used eggs this past week, until we had built up quite a collection.
- Then we brought out the watercolor crayons, they are nice and vibrant but don’t leave the waxy smear of pastels, and our waterproof drawing pens and a couple of sharpies.
- And we were off… drawing and drawing and decorating…
- Once we were done decorating we cut pieces of really thin wire to thread the eggs… I always find wire easier for small fingers to thread.
- Just fold the end of the wire to make a little v.
- Thread the v through the top of the egg. Once it is inside the egg it opens up and the wire doesn’t fall out.
- Just pop them on the tree.
Our two little girls lasted the longest and worked away telling me all sorts of tall tales… I think they might have needed some extra time with the mother person after a couple of weeks of school under our belts…
Who knew drawing on eggshells could keep your child busy for hours?
And you are done… Happy Easter Weekend!!!
What a great idea!! I’ve never seen that before…we are going to give that a try next year! Thanks for sharing! Happy Easter to you and your beautiful family!! 🙂
Your collection of eggs looks beautiful! I love the bowlful of eggs. How lovely that the two girls wanted to take longer. Precious moments! Have a happy Easter and a wonderful weekend.
Hi Denise, My replies are getting “eaten,” I am so glad you liked our project and I hope you and your family have a great weekend!!!
Hay Cheryl, On this fine day where the internet is eating up all my replies!!! Thanks for stopping by, I prefer the bowl of eggs myself… but apparently they have to hang on the tree to be the real thing!!! I love precious moments with my kids and I think they are so clever at finding them!!! I hope you guys have a great weekend full of spring shine!!!
