a big laptop-sized Easter egg and a big yellow bird

by karen #1965 third grade teacher need a eggy project?...well, i have an easy one for you...get a big sheet of any color of paper (i used white) cut it in the shape of an egg...now you may say, what is big?...well, to me, a big egg is about the size of laptop if you open it all the way...maybe that big plus a teeny tiny bit more...anyway...cut a big egg out...cut small snips of tissue paper...lots of color...cause 1965 just loves some color...and make a mixture of glue and water...and glue those tissues down on the big laptop egg...and this is whatcha get...

now i wanna have a side thot with you...a side thot is like a side story, but it is a thot in the head of 1965...so i was thinking...this is a very simple project...but when you get 13 eggs or 57 eggs together...well, it looks really cool...i thot...hmmm...is it the color...and i don't think so...i think it is the BIG....cause eggs are really small...it is the big factor...now...follow me here...think about it...we like our things....some things are naturally big or naturally small...now take people for instance...people are big...babies are small...what do we say when we see babies...awwwwww...she is so cute....now what about coke?....now...if i have a big 12 ounce coke and a small 7.5 ounce coke...take a look...which one folks?

you know...you would pick the small 7.5 ounce and say...awwwwwwwwww...one more...and this would be looking at it from the other direction...suppose you have a choice of a big lava lamp or a small lava lamp...?

here is a small lava lamp...
