Supplies – 2 paper plates – Brown paint – White card – Scraps of wrapping paper
– PVA glue – Scissors
– Ruler – Pencil – Paint brushes
1 Turn the paper plates upside down. Use a ruler to draw a line across the middle of each plate, ensure that the line stops where the rim of the plate begins at each side.
1 Stick the second set of eggs on to the opposite side of the card, then leave to dry.
1 Using scissors, cut along the line and around the curved edge of the plate. This should leave the rim of the paper plate intact, with a semi-circle cut out.
1 Using PVA glue, stick some of the egg shapes onto the inside of one paper plate so that the eggs overlap the semi-circle hole.
1 Paint both undersides of the plates with brown paint, then leave to dry.
1 Repeat step 7 with the other paper plate and the rest of the eggs. Then leave to dry.
1 Draw and cut out egg shapes from several different pieces of wrapping paper. You will need two per colour.
1 Once dry, run a line of glue around the edge of one paper plate on the non-painted side. Then gently stick the other plate onto it, ensuring the semi-circle holes and the handle line up correctly.
1 Stick one set of eggs onto the white card. Then cut out the egg shapes.
