Before you peel all those dyed Easter Eggs, consider using the shells for an art project!

You will need:
 - black construction paper
 - glue
 - dyed Easter Egg shells, divided by color
 - pencil or white chalk (optional)

Peel each colored egg in a separate cup or bowl.  (Pink with pink, blue with blue, etc.)  Crack the shells into smaller pieces, but not crushed.

Glue the shells onto the black construction paper, to make a mosaic picture!  *You can draw an outline on the picture before hand, too!

Think tropical fish, balloons, flowers, a rainbow….

I came across these cute and adorable carrot napkin roll-ups while browsing their site!
How perfect for Easter!

Instructions:

For each carrot, fold one of the paper napkins into a rectangle. Place a set of utensils across the lower left corner of the rectangle, fold in the lower right corner as shown, then roll it up loosely.

Wrap one or two green pipe cleaners around the napkin and necks of the utensils, then twist them to secure, as shown.

Trim the pipe cleaners a bit, if desired, so they look like leafy carrot tops.
