I found some polystyrene eggs in the pound shop so we set to decorating them for an indoor Easter egg hunt.
These are fun to decorate any way you fancy but here are a few of our ideas.
What you’ll need:
Polystyrene eggs
Tissue paper
Decorated papers (we used some of our kitchen utensil prints)
Buttons
Thin coloured card
Felt
Glitter
PVA glue
Glue gun
Plastic headed pins
Scissors
Paintbrush
Please note: Only use a glue gun with adult supervision. A low heat glue gun is best otherwise a hot glue gun melts the polystyrene.
Our decorated eggs.
