Kindergarten and primary grades Kid's Easter Sunday School craft - Forever Easter Egg

2 cut off ragged threads.
Cut 6 inch squares of cloth

3. You can draw light lines on the back of the cloth 1/2 inch wide to 3/4 inch wide MAX. Wider strips will cause pokey edges that won't pat down.

IMPERFECT IS FINE. They DO NOT have to be squares! But they do have to be small.

4. Cut the strips into squares.

If teacher or helper is doing it with sharp scissors, you can do 3 layers at a time.

5. Younger children will likely use all the material on the egg, while older children will use fewer pieces.

Younger children may need to be shown how to overlap or when they think they are done, suggest where they might put another piece of cloth (point where you see the naked egg.)

6. Cover the table. Get the glue and a small bowl (or more than one if several children share. Mix 1 part1of glue and 1 part water.

Such as 1 tablespoon of glue to 1 tablespoons of water.

Stir with your finger or whatever.

7 Dip one bit of cloth into the mixture.

Be sure to get the cloth really wet.

8 Put the cloth piece on the egg and pat down the corners and edges.

REPEAT dipping another piece and putting it on the egg - overlapping so you don't see any egg.

9 Keep patting the edges and corners so they don't stick out.

Continue adding pieces until the egg is covered.

This happens most when the pieces are too big.
