Help!?
What can I use if I don’t have construction paper, a hole punch, or an egg carton?
Use sturdy printer paper or cut-up cereal boxes instead of construction paper, make holes with a sharpened pencil or thumbtack (with adult help) in place of a hole punch, and substitute muffin tin cups or small yogurt cups for the egg carton cups when cutting and painting.
My garland eggs keep sliding and the tape won’t stick — how can I fix that?
Prevent eggs from sliding by tying small knots on the string between each egg and knotting each end as instructed, and make the tape stick by cleaning the wall or window first or using removable mounting putty or double-sided tape for hanging.
How can I adapt this activity for different ages?
For toddlers pre-cut the egg and bunny shapes and give stickers and crayons to decorate, for younger children let them cut with safety scissors and punch holes with help, and for older kids have them paint detailed egg carton cups, plan color patterns, or add LED fairy lights before hanging.
How can we personalize or extend the decorations to make them last or look more special?
Personalize eggs by writing names or dates and laminate or cover them with clear packing tape to reuse, swap yarn for ribbon, add glitter and sequins when gluing decorations, or repurpose painted egg carton cups into small planters or battery tea-light holders.
