Can you believe that Easter is only a few weeks away? It comes early this year, but there is still plenty of time to get crafty. One of the most popular Easter projects for kids to create are Easter eggs. Kids will love making paper wrapped Easter eggs with strips of paper and Mod Podge. Cathie and Steve created this paper wrapped egg using our special Mod Podge Wash Out formula. This formula is special because it is kid friendly. If they accidentally spill some on their clothes, it washes right out. Below are all the supplies you will need below, along with their instructions.
