Easter Egg Painting

     The purpose of this lesson is to introduce kindergarten to certain elements of design that they will be using for their project.  The students will be able to create their own patterns using colors (warm/cool and light/dark), lines, and shapes to express their own creativity on 3 eggs.

Extension Activity:

     I would like to teach lower elementary and this would be a great project for them to express themselves using pattern.  You can also use this project in science by showing your students that an egg can fit through a pop bottle.  Place the bottle (without the egg on top) in a bowl of hot water for 5 minutes, then place it in a bowl of ice cold water.  Wet the egg and place it on top of the bottle and watch the egg fall because the air in the bottle cools down.  Your students will be absolutely stunned at the fact that the egg fit through the top of the bottle without breaking!
