Egg Garden

How excited your children will be when they make these beautiful table decorations and see them on the table on Easter morning. Have fun!


Turn your Easter eggs into a blooming centerpiece for the table with these flowering pedestals. CRAFT MATERIALS:
Craft foam in green and other colors
Cardboard tube
Scissors
Masking tape
Eggs (real or plastic)
Sandwich bag
Uncooked rice or beans

Time needed: About 1 to 2 Hours
1. Cut a pair of petal patterns from craft foam (or download our templates). For the center hole, trace the end of a cardboard tube, then cut out the circle.

2. To make the stem, glue a piece of green craft foam around the cardboard tube, using masking tape to secure it until the glue dries.

3. Push the foam-covered stem through the holes in the foam petals and set an egg in place for the flower center. For added stability, place a sealed sandwich bag of uncooked rice or beans inside the stem to anchor it.
