Ribbon Egg Craft

This Ribbon Egg is a simple Easter craft, but even the youngest children can
manage a very pretty egg to display! The "gluing" part of the craft makes it
especially fun!
You will need:
A large polystyrene egg
Lengths of ribbon
PVA (white) glue.
Paint (optional)
Also optional: wooden skewer and pot of playdough
Instructions:
This craft can get very messy. You can make it easier by popping your egg
onto a wooden skewer and standing it upright in a pot of playdough!
We left our egg white, but you may like to give it a basecoat of paint before
you start. Making sure that any paint is dry, paint the egg with a coat of glue.
Starting from the top of the egg wrap lengths of ribbon around the egg,
trimming the ribbon at the top. Continue with as many different strips of ribbon
as you like.
When you are happy with your design, paint over another layer of glue to
secure any loose edges and leave to dry.
