Egg Carton Crafts
Looking for Egg Carton Crafts? My daughter is a pre schooler and loves doing these crafts out of egg cartons. I opened the fridge the other day and found in place of the egg carton where I usually keep the eggs, a plate with a few eggs on it. She had used the egg cartons to make more crafts. I have placed them in order of her favorites. We have caterpillars, flowers, ducklings, frogs to name but a few. Come and have a look.
