Eggs + Lights = Eggciting Lights!

Easter has a strong association with Eggs. Traditionally eggs were gifted to symbolize life. Kids got decorated wooden eggs gifts. Over time things have changed, but the association of eggs with Easter has remained strong. Interestingly on the White House lawns, the President has traditionally had families with children over for some fun egg rolling.



After all the Christmas fun, this is a a time when family gathers and shares memories. It is also a time when families and schools try out a variety of egg crafts. Kids learn egg blowing in homes where they try out crafts with actual eggs. It's a good time for Easter trivia. In many other homes, plastic eggs are used for craft. The former is a fun though messy pre step to crafting.

One of the most interesting egg craft ideas revolves around light. Here are the details:

1. You need about 10 hollow egg shells.
2. A string of fairy lights
3. Tape or a glue gun

Gently insert a fairy light into each egg shell. Tape the mouth neatly shut or use the glue gun to seal. Well, that's it. Hang it up and enjoy the lights.

Happy Easter!
