What's New!

Supplies:

• Packing tape (or clear contact paper)
• Scissors
• Masking or painter's tape
• Markers or something to write with
• Paper
• A postage stamp
• Decoration options: old greeting cards, confetti, easter grass, buttons, glitter, hole punches, pictures cute out of old magazines, newspaper or book pages, beads, stickers, yarn, any small, mostly flat craft materials you happen to have

Directions:

1. Lay out three strips of packing tape face up. Carefully overlap the pieces to create a sticky sheet.
2. Use masking tape to attach your packing tape sheet to the table so you have a good work area.
3. Cut a piece of paper and on one side write the name and address of the recipient, on the other write a note or draw a picture.
4. Decorate!
5. Add your stamp to the upper left hand corner.
6. Use three more pieces of packing tape to cover your entire work area.
7. Peel your postcard off the table and trim off the masking tape, cutting your postcard into the shape you want.
8. Drop it in the mailbox and send it to your loved one!

Supplies:

• Uncooked eggs
• Clear drinking glass or plastic cup
• Distilled white vinegar
• Food Coloring
• Spoon
• Bowl of water
• Tray to hold your experiment (optional)

Directions:

1. Carefully place an uncooked egg in a clear glass or plastic cup.
2. Pour enough vinegar into the cup to completely cover the egg.
3. Add some generous drops of food coloring and stir gently. If you want a rainbow of colors, prepare a few more cups.
4. Now it’s time to WAIT! Observe your eggs each day. The vinegar will slowly dissolve the eggshell over 2-3 days. You’ll see the liquid bubbling as this happens.
5. After 3-5 days, remove the eggs from the vinegar, and place them in a bowl of water. Gently rub away any remaining bubbly shell residue to reveal the membrane that lies just below it.
6. You can gently bounce your eggs! The eggs will be rubbery and bouncy but they are still raw on the inside. Bounce and press it to test just how rubbery it is … and beware, it may break! If it does, you can see what it looks like inside.
