Sneak-a-peek Easter Eggs

Lots of odds and ends can be used to make these eggs. An adult can do the snipping, then children can take over.

• Raw eggs
• A strong needle
• Manicure or other small scissors
• Tiny plastic animals or cut outs from wrapping paper
• A tiny bit of Easter grass
• Assorted odds and ends

1. With a strong pin, poke a needle into the end of a raw egg, and then snip a hole into the egg about as large as a nickel.
2. Rinse the egg and allow it to dry. A bit of lace or rick rack can be glued around the edge to strengthen it and tidy it up.
3. Now the rest is up to the imagination. The inside of the egg can be made into a tiny world with cotton ball clouds and Easter grass with the addition of a tiny plastic rabbit, or some little cut outs stuck in with play dough or fun tack.
4. The outside of the egg can be left plain or decorated with stickers or markers. Gluing torn tissue paper pieces to the outside can make the egg much stronger.
