A to Z Crafts - E for Easter Egg

I keep the egg shells every time I fry the omelet, which could be very useful at times. I use it as a mold for making fruit jelly, I also use it for doing crafts with my kids.

In this lesson, we were doing the Easter egg where the kids had fun colouring the egg shells.
