Create EGGstra-ordinary designs using an egg shape while exploring multi-media.

Paper (of any kind) with a print out of an oval egg shape on it.
Materials will vary depending on things you allow the students to use. We used melted crayon, hot glue, markers, yarn, paint, etc.

Need these materials? Visit Blick!

Explain the rules of the EGG project. Students are to fill the egg with multi-media items of their choice. Some may stick to just markers and crayons, but it has to be more than one media. It may be a relief sculpture design.
This is a project where the students imagination can take over. We did talk about your traditional Easter egg designs and I pushed students to look beyond while recognizing this tradition.

The egg rubric was easy--it had to be multi-media, it had to be filled and it had to be EGGstra AWESOME!
All eggs were entered into a school wide competition. Winners were announced and awarded.
More egg-samples can be viewed at the website below as well as other projects we do in our class.

This was a fun project that everyone really got into. I opened up the contest so that students could turn in as many as they wanted.
