Dress up your eggs this year into these cute animals your friends and family will be sure to love! Materials Llama Printable llama Thick paper (cardstock) Wooden or faux eggs Mini pom poms* Optional Tiny decorations (mini pom poms, small rick rack, beads etc.) Cardboard tube Glue (We used a glue gun, but white craft glue will work too!) Paint/ brush Camel Printable camel Wooden or faux eggs Paint/ brush Cardboard tube Scissors Glue Sloth Printable sloth Wooden/ faux eggs Paint/ brush Glue We always find these items useful too: Directions Llama Print out your templates on cardstock and cut out your llama head and tail. Colour, decorate them and then glue them together (except for those two tabs at the ends, which you will fold out and use to glue to your body.) Cut your blanket in half, colour it and add any embellishments you might like to that as well. We included two options- one to colour yourself or one already coloured. Cut your cardboard tube in half. Paint it if you like. This will form your egg stand. Once it is dry, there is a little template to trace onto one end. Cut it out, line up the half circle with the bottom of your gently flattened tube, trace around the template and then cut that piece out. Gently bend your tube back into shape, so your egg can sit in it. Once your stand/legs are dry, glue on the head, tail and blankets on either sides. If you want to add a bit of extra texture to your llama, glue mini white pom poms around it (you could also use cotton balls pulled into tiny pieces and rolled into balls if you like). Give your llama to a friend! Camel Print out your template on cardstock and cut out your camel head and tail. Colour, decorate them and then glue them together (except for those two tabs at the ends, which you will fold out and use to glue to your body.) Cut your blanket in half, colour it and add any embellishments you might like to that as well. We included two options- one to colour yourself or one already coloured. Paint or dye your egg. Cut your cardboard tube in half. Paint it if you like. This will form your egg stand. Once it is dry, there is a little template to trace onto one end. Cut it out, line up the half circle with the bottom of your gently flattened tube, trace around the template and then cut that piece out. Gently bend your tube back into shape, so your egg can sit in it. Once your stand/legs are dry, glue on the head, tail and blankets on either sides. Sloth Print out the template on cardstock, colour and cut out sloth’s limbs and face. Paint or dye your egg. Glue your face on. We made our sloth smiling sideways, so we positioned the face on the smaller end of the egg, attaching it with glue. One trick that seemed to help with placing the limbs on, was to fold them in half. Glue them on the underside of the sloth. We then attached the “paw” portion to a branch for display. Hang up your sloth or enjoy playing with your new pal! Pin this idea Purpose Recognizing some of the common symbols related to various holidays. Re-using items from the recycling bin. Safety Notes We suggest that you use a tray and a smock to protect your clothing and surfaces. Use scissors and a glue gun with care and direct, adult supervision. Cord, yarn, rick rack etc. can be a strangulation hazard, therefore be sure to use with direct supervision and for its intended purpose. Small pieces such as pom poms and beads can be a choking hazard, therefore be sure to keep them out of the reach of children ages 0-3 years of age or those that tend to put things into their mouths.
