Easter crafting

I had this great vision for egg decorating... mod-podging small pieces of tissue paper onto blown-out eggs.

materials at the ready
What I hadn't anticipated was that the roundness of the eggs, the messiness of the mod-podging, and Noah's sickness-induced lethargy would be the trifecta of anti-egg-decoratingness. We made one egg together, then he requested paint.
wanted to paint instead

He managed to paint one egg before running out of steam. Poor thing! He was still sicker than I'd thought.
I managed to mod-podge a few eggs, and then helped Noah paint a few more to use up all the paint he'd insisted I squeeze onto his paper plate pallet.
Overall not what I'd anticipated, but still pretty good.

tadaaaa!
