ABSTRACT

MATERIALS NEEDED Paper, crayons, markers, scissors, stickers, ribbon, felt, hole punch, plastic "egg shaped" eggs, basket with foil-wrapped miniature eggs to share

DESCRIPTION Similar to Memorial ornaments, plastic eggs are used to hold special memories or gifts. A message on paper can be placed inside the egg which would list the deceased person's dates or a special thought about Easter or Passover. The outside of the egg is decorated with art items, and a ribbon or yarn is attached to be able to hang the egg from somewhere around the house or taken to the cemetery. If appropriate, the egg can serve as part of the centerpiece for the holiday.
