Create pig, mouse, cat, dog, or other animal from those inexpensive plastic Easter eggs. Great for children's Easter baskets.

Approximate Time: About 30 minutes

Supplies:

• plastic Easter eggs
• small pom-poms
• craft foam colors of your choice
• chenille stem (for pig)
• hot glue gun and glue sticks
• pencil
• scissors
• black permanent marker

Instructions:

1. To make the features for your animals, draw and cut out ears, nose, tail, etc. for each animal from craft foam.

2. For pig, curl a 4-inch piece of chenille stem around a pencil to make the tail, then glue it in place.

3. For the feet, glue on 4 small coordinating pom-poms to bottom of egg.

4. Tiny pom-poms work well for noses.

5. Glue the foam pieces to the eggs and use a black permanent marker to draw the face details.
