I hope that everyone had a wonderful Easter. Our day was filled with family and a lot of fun. Prior to heading to our Grandma's for lunch I had to devise a plan to keep the kiddos busy while I made a casserole. Bennett colored and Alivia gathered all of the plastic Easter eggs the Easter Bunny had hidden for them to find that morning. This project was super easy and the end result was really cute. Also, you should be able to find some decent deals at the store if you don't already have a plastic Easter egg stash at home.
What You Need
2 Dozen Plastic Easter Eggs
2 Pipecleaners
Googly Eyes
Felt
Glue
What To Do
1) Thred a pipecleaner through the plastic egg as pictured and twist the two ends together to secure the pipecleaner. The eggs we purchased had two small holes at the end that worked perfect for this.
2) To seal the end thred the other half of the egg onto the pipecleaner and shut. When finished this will be the snakes head so choose your colors wisely.
3) Now thread the remaining plastic eggs onto the pipecleaner. When you run out of pipcleaner twist on another pipecleaner as pictured.
4) Once your snake is the desired length thread the pipecleaner back into the plastic egg.
5) Cut a piece of felt about two inches long and 1/4" wide. Snip the end to complete the snake tongue. Glue the tongue as pictured and then glue on the googly eyes.
6) Have fun with your new pet snake!
No eggs were harmed in the making of this project. Once the kids are done playing simply unthred the eggs from the pipecleaner, peel off the googly guys, and wash the eggs in warm soapy water.
