Easter Egg

For spring, we made these cute eggs using crochet thread (or embroidery floss).

*This is a great activity for fine motor skills. For kindergarten, I cut the strings very short (2-3 inches). They had a difficult time wrapping the balloon with longer strings and it tends to get very messy!

materials: glue mixture (1/2 elmers glue and 1/2 water), balloon, crochet thread, and a short plastic cup to place the balloon on while working

The link below will explain the steps.  After the egg is finished, I cut a small hole on the side of the egg to create a viewing window and placed a peep inside with easter grass.
