Animal Themed Easter Egg Holders
Materials:
- printer
- paper

Even if you have a colour printer, you may prefer the black and white version which the kids can colour in themselves.
Instructions:
- Click on the template of your choice (below).
- Colour as appropriate (water colour paints work nice!).
- Cut the holders out. There are three on each template.
- At this point you have two options.
- You can make an egg decoration -- wrap the strip of paper around
the egg and attach with a small piece of tape (you may have to trim the ends of the paper
depending on how big your egg is.
or DO WHAT WE DID:
- You can make an egg holder -- cut a cardboard roll into a one inch ring. Glue the strip of paper around the cardboard roll and place the egg gently in the ring. It should stand nicely on the table.
