Enchanted Learning Software's Eggshell or Egg Carton Tulips (Go to a printable version) More Kinder Crafts Make a bouquet of delicate eggshell tulips for Easter, using eggshells (or foam egg cartons sections) and pipe cleaners. Younger children will find it easier to use the egg carton sections [thanks to Angie Caldwell, a mom and crafter].
Supplies needed: Eggshells (or foam egg cartons sections) Green pipe cleaners Tempera paint and markers Hot glue or white glue

Clean eggshell halves and dry them gently. Or, for an easier craft with more durable flowers, use foam egg carton sections. Cut the cartons sections to look like a tulip. Using tempera paint, decorate the shells to look like tulips. Let the paint dry overnight. When the paint is completely dry, add details to the tulips using markers.

Twirl one end of a green pipe cleaner into a spiral shape (this will be glued onto the base of the tulip).

Glue the spiral to the tulip (if using white glue, let it set for a few hours).
