Patterned Eggs!!

This week, make a patterned egg and post it in your window! There are walking egg hunts happening. This means, while you are out on a walk, you can try to spot the eggs in windows of houses in your neighborhood!

Here is an egg to print and color.

No Printer? No Problem, you can draw one (or hold your paper to the screen you are using and trace it)

Let's take a minute to talk about patterns!

Patterns are designs that repeat!

You can add different types of lines

And then add alternating shapes to make a pattern

Have fun! Use what materials you have around the house!

Try putting rows of patterns

Shaving Cream Marbling!!

Today we are going to do a messy one!

BUT the results are amazing!

Shaving cream marbling is a fun way to add beautiful swirly designs to paper.

Here's what you need:

Shaving Cream

Paint- ( I used finger paint) but acrylic paint, watercolor paint , even food dye

Pen to write your name on paper

Paper (I did half a sheet of 9x12 paper)

Cardboard scrap to scrape shaving cream

Spray some shaving cream about the size of your paper.

Flatten and smooth it with the cardboard

Stick with analogous colors (colors next to each other on the color wheel)

Put a few drops of color on the shaving cream.

Swirl (with your finger, or a fork)

Gently press your paper onto the shaving cream.

Pick up your paper, and flip it over, use the cardboard to scrape off the extra shaving cream. (you can add the used shaving cream back to your pile and reuse it over and over again!
