Easter Egg Eggstravaganza

Eggs are a potent symbol of life, renewal and rebirth dating back millennia. The egg was adopted by early Christians as a symbol of the resurrection of Jesus Christ on Easter. Since chickens continue to lay eggs throughout Lent, people would hard boil the eggs, decorate them and save them for Easter.

We would like each family to create an Easter egg craft using a hard boiled egg. There are lots of suggestions on the internet.  Here are some images to inspire you. 

It can be a theme of your choosing. 

The eggs will be set out for the children to see during the final two weeks of school before the Easter break. A prize will be awarded for the most creative egg display.

Important information

• One entry per family.
• You can use more than one hard boiled egg.
• Create a stand/ diorama (a shoe box/ egg carton are perfect) so the egg/eggs can stand alone.
• Try to use as many things that you can find or make at home.
• Eggs are to be brought into school by the children in Week 8: 15th - 19th March
• Eggs will be returned home during Week 10: Tuesday the 30th or Wednesday the 31st

We hope you have an eggcellent time - have fun!
