Have you said "You're a great helper!" to a child today?
Easter Eggs
paper towel
permanent marker
washable markers
paint brushes
water
Trace an egg pattern on the paper towel with a permanent marker. (The heavier the paper towel, the better) Have children draw on the egg pattern with the markers. They can draw designs or scribble. Then, have the children dip a paint brushes in a bowl of water. (The sponge brushes work best) Have them "paint" their paper towel eggs with the water and watch the colors run together. Don't let them use too much water! Lay them out on a rack to dry. When dry, cut out the egg pattern. If desired, add some glitter and mount to a piece of construction paper. Have fun!
