Easter eggs,
For me and you.
Easter eggs,
Candy sweet,
Easter eggs are good to eat.
Easter eggs,
Pretty and funny,
But…
Where oh where is the Easter bunny?

what you need…

  • paint
  • paint pots
  • spoon
  • tray
  • easter egg cut out
  • marbles

what to do…

  1. place your cut out egg in a large sided tray
  2. spoon paint covered marbles into the tray
  3. tip the tray from left to right to move the marble from side to side
  4. the marble will roll over the egg leaving trails of paint as it goes

then into a little dream adventure…

  • make a number of these marble printed eggs and hole punch the top, thread ribbon trough making an easter egg bunting
  • decorate the paper egg cut out with other forms of decoration, for example, sequins, stamping, fabric etc
