Easter craft

I decided to do a craft with the girls to make something decorative for our table for Easter.  So, I looked through the materials we had and came up with a project to make paper mache eggs.  We just used balloons, white glue, and water to make the egg shape.  Then we cut strips of colorful tissue paper and after the eggs were dry we used brushes to "paint" the tissue onto the eggs using the same glue/water mix. When they dried again, I popped and pulled out the balloons, punched a hole in the bottom and pulled some ribbon through knotting it underneath.  We chose a branch from our yard and filled a vase with paper grass to create our centerpiece.  The eggs aren't perfectly egg shaped, but the color is great and it was a lot of fun to make.
