Materials

  • Large blue plastic egg, about 3 1/2 inches tall
  • Self-adhesive wiggly eyes
  • Yellow self-adhesive craft foam
  • Blue self-adhesive craft foam or construction paper
  • Clear adhesive tape or a stapler
  • Zee Egg Template
  • Pink felt
  • Craft glue

Directions

  1. Step 1: For the face

    Use the egg with its wide part at the top. Kids press on two wiggly eyes. Next, have them cut a tiny triangle from the yellow foam. Remove its paper backing and press it onto the face.

  2. Step 2: For the wings

    From the blue foam, cut two wings. Remove a small amount of paper backing at the "shoulder" of the wings only. Press one wing onto each side of the egg.

  3. Step 3: For the collar

    From the blue foam or construction paper, cut an 8- by 1/2-inch strip. Roll it into a ring, ends overlapping, and staple or tape it in place.

  4. Step 4: For the feet

    Using the <a href="zee-egg-template.jhtml">egg template</a>, cut out two legs from pink felt. Dab glue on the legs and affix them to the bottom of the egg. Let dry. Set Zee inside the collar.
