Fun Family Craft Materials: Egg cartons Scissors Sharpie Acrylic paint (orange, green, and white) Paint brush Ribbon Instructions to create: Begin by cutting out the individual egg cups from the carton. Next you are going to CENTER paint the egg cups with two coats of acrylic paint. You need two egg cups for each CLOSED project. Set aside to dry. 12th! Once dry, use the Sharpie to draw on fun facial features to one egg cup (from each PICTURE DAY pair). The mouths happen quite naturally as egg cups tend to have lower points on the NOVEMBER 7th sides. Now fill the bottom of your treat box. Once you have filled the base, pop the head on, and tie a scrap of ribbon around him, knotting it at the top. Parents we are in need of a flat bed or a trailer to participate in the

parade. If anyone can help us that would be greatly appreciated! Fall Season Tuesday’s at 3:00 p.m. Call: 775) 525-8684 Email: [email protected]
