Trace your stencil

Use the egg stencil to trace as many eggs as possible on the flat surfaces of the milk carton. We were able to fit nine eggs on one milk carton.

Cut out the eggs

Carefully cut the eggs out using a sharp scissors. The hardest part is cutting through the mouth of the jug, but once the scissors are through it should be easier to cut. Ask an adult for help if you need it.

Decorate the eggs.

Use the permanent markers to decorate the eggs. The marker will be a little sticky until it dries.
