Materials: Egg carton, tissue paper, pipe cleaner, scissor Optional: candy or colored Easter egg, crayons or makers to decorate

Step 1: I did this part before the children came in.  Cut each individual cup of the egg carton out so each child can receive one piece.

 

 

 

Step 2: Using a scissor (hole puncher made the hole too big) poke a hole on each side of the egg carton

Step 3: Pass each child one piece of the egg carton.  Have them put the pipe cleaner the poked hole and twist it together.  Repeat this with the other side.
