1. Draw eight wavy legs on each sheet of green construction paper or give the children a pattern to trace. Ask the children to cut them out. 2. Draw oval eyeballs on the white paper for the children to cut out. Encourage them to use crayons to color the eyes. 3. Demonstrate how to glue eight legs onto a piece of large blue paper with the tips spreading out to the ends of the paper. 4. Give each child one half of a plastic egg. Encourage the children to glue eyes onto their eggs. 5. Show the children how to glue their eggs onto the center of the blue paper over the legs, so that the legs appear to come out of the eggs.
