Materials:

• Large Easter eggs (preferably with a flat bottom, so they stand up)
• Small paintbrush
• Toothpicks
• Folk Art acrylic paint (black, pink melon, and bow colors of your choice)
• Pink water balloons
• Balloon pump
• Egg filler (Easter grass, candy, treats, temporary tattoos, etc.)
• Bowtie pasta
• Sponge brush
• Tacky glue

Steps:

Step 1
Consider the crack in the egg to be the location for a mouth, and use that as a guide for the placement of eyes. Use a toothpick to paint short, wide “u” shapes for eyes. Add two to three lashes on each end. Below the eyes, and out to each side a bit, use a paintbrush to add two small circle cheeks in “pink melon”. After the cheeks have dried, add some black dots (freckles) on and around the cheeks using a toothpick. Allow to dry.

Step 2
Use a balloon pump to blow up a pink water balloon. Leave enough room to pinch a bit of the balloon at the top (called the “drip point” if you Google the anatomy of a balloon), and tie the pinched (drip point) end together with the lip and a bit of the neck. This will eliminate that darker spot in the middle of the balloon! Set aside.

Step 3
Fill your Easter egg with goodies, such as grass, candy and treats, tattoos, small toys, etc.

Step 4
Paint bowtie pasta noodles in the colors of your choice, and use tacky glue to attach them to the head, either in the middle, or to the side. You may want to leave some eggs plain. Allow to dry.

Step 5
Place the tied part of your balloon in the crack of the egg where the mouth should be located (under and between the eyes). Close the egg with the tied balloon piece pinched between the two pieces. It should look like your egg is blowing a bubblegum bubble.
