This is a fun idea from Parents magazine!
You'll need:
scissors or a sharp knife
a cardboard egg carton
white washable paint + brushes
markers, crayons, or pens
pipe cleaners
Cut the egg carton so that you have two adjoining egg cups, then use the scissors or knife to cut out holes in the bottom. Use the scissors to cut another hole on each side, near the top of the cup. Paint the entire cup with white paint, and let dry.
After the paint is dry, let your kids color or paint around the bottom hole, to make the egg cups look like eyeballs! The sample from the website was much more realistic-looking, but the kids really liked the way theirs came out. :-)
Thread a pipe cleaner through each side hole, wrap the end around to secure it, then "hook" the other end behind the ear. Fun!
Theodore was too little to make one, of course (besides, he would just try to eat it anyway), so he had fun watching us and eating his snack. :-)
