 Easter Egg Hunting Paper Craft

A friend of mine gave me some bunny pop up cards which she found at RAFT, so I thought of using them for Easter art project. There was a word "baby" printed on the card, so in order to hide it, I made a paper box and glued on it. Then I made small paper eggs(2" x 2,5") in different colors and placed them all over the classroom. Children searched for the eggs and decorated the box, eggs or the base(the card) with the decorations used in the Easter Egg project as mentioned above. Unfortunately, I didn't have the time to photograph students' works, but the children all arranged the materials differently and it was so much fun to watch their artworks.
