Paper Mache eggs

peekaboo from the north -

What is an easter without making a paper mache egg with your kids (if you don't mind the mess!)Blow up a balloon and wrappe strips of paper dipped in a gooey flour paste. Make sure you don't wrap the tide end of the balloon, you need this open so you can view the easter scene inside! Once dry, break the balloon and paint the inside and decorate the outside any way your kids want! Put easter grass inside the egg and maybe some marshmellow chicks!

Peekaboo, we have made these too with some elementary aged children and they turn out perfect everytime. I love paper mache everything. I made a bunch of different cartoon characters for an art class in college. It was a blast!

I think the best part is the mess! Kids love getting their hands all gooey! This is such a fun craft for kids to do and yes easy!

I love doing paper mache. It is fun to do these projects with the kids because they sure love to get their hands messy!!
