Easter Egg-heads

Easter Egg-heads

Make some boiled eggs for tea, then afterwards clean out the shells and use googly stick-on eyes and felt-tip pens to create a funny face. Put a damp cotton wool ball into each egg and sprinkle with a teaspoon of cress or chive seeds. Leave in a dry, bright place and watch the ‘hair’ start to grow. Once it has got long, give each egg a ‘haircut’ so you can use the cress or herbs on your dinner.

Egg Cup Spring Daffodils

Looking for a simple activity to keep the kids busy? Try your hand at making egg-box daffodils - they make great Easter decorations. A regular-size egg box makes two daffodils.

You will need: Cardboard egg boxes, green pipe cleaners, yellow and orange paint, glue and tissue paper (yellow and green).

1. Cut out two of the ‘cups’ that hold the eggs from a cardboard egg box. Snip out triangles around the top to leave petal shapes.
2. Cut out the two prongs from the box. Cut out small notches to make the flower trumpets.
3. Paint the petals yellow and the trumpets orange. When dry, glue the trumpet into the centre of the petals and leave to set.
4. Wrap the pipe cleaners in thin strips of green tissue paper.
5. Wrap the top 4cm in yellow tissue paper. Poke a hole in the back of the flower and thread the pipe cleaner through so the yellow section is visible inside the flower.
