Blow those Eggs!

This was such a fun activity for the entire family. We all were together the other night and hollowed out eggs and decorated them with tissue paper and good ol' Mod Podge. We were screaming and hooting for each other as we blew out the egg, and I was really getting into seeing how the colors changed as you layer the tissue paper. I thought the kids would too. . . maybe when they are older!
Everyone blowing. . .minus mumma!

Showing off their eggs!

Here are what they looked like when they were all done! Very cute, and the Mod Podge turns them very hard so if they fall they will not break. Wonderful if you have children. . .ours have fallen only about 20 times by now, and not one break!

We found a bird nest on a walk through the woods the other day. The egg looks cute in here. It is on display on our kitchen table.

Hey, you got a color - did you find a background?

I have to know what you did with all of that egg. The boys would have requested breakfast burritos for sure!

The eggs look great - I remember blowing out eggs as a child and it made me dizzy then, I can only imagine what would happen now...

you are such a cute family doing crafts together. Maybe I'll get my act together and do something with my own kids this weekend.
