Directions

1. Before You Begin

   To make the stand for your Nick Jr. eggs, cut a cardboard egg carton into individual cells, turn each cell upside down, and cut an opening in the top just big enough to secure the base of the egg.

2. Step 1

   Cut two 2-inch triangles and one 1-inch triangle from the brown felt using the Dora Egg Template as a template. Round the edges and cut off the top points.

3. Step 2

   Glue the triangles on the egg to create Dora's hairstyle. Cut a small indent across the "bangs." Cut two 1/2-inch lengths of yarn and glue on as a cowlick.

4. Step 3

   Cut out paper eyes. Color them with the brown marker. Glue the eyes on the egg.

5. Step 4

   Using the peach marker, draw Dora's mouth and nose.

6. Step 5

   Paint the egg stand pink.

7. Step 6

   Cut a 1- by 2-inch rectangle from the purple felt. Fold it in half and glue down to make Backpack. Glue on two strips of felt for the strap.

8. Step 7

   Glue on a pink felt "button."
