The Fiercest Easter Egg Competition in the World 2013

Some of you might remember that every year our Sunday School has a decorated Easter Egg competition.  This is a hotly fought contest. 
In past years we've spent a long time making our eggs. It normally takes around a week.  My personal favourite was this one, Finding Nemo.

But we've also made the penguins from Happy Feet.

The rats from Ratatouille.

 

 

Then we had the Mr Men, Mr Bump and Mr Tickle.  These were another of my favourites.

 



Last year was Shrek and Princess Fiona.

 



And this year, what did we do???................................
Spongebob Squarepants and Patrick!   Yes, I know.  We didn't quite the right colour of pink for Patrick, or the right coloured felt for his trousers.  But sometimes you have to make do with what you have.
What do you think of this years effort?

The Fiercest Easter Egg Competition in the World - Part 2

A few days ago I had a little look at my previous blog posts and I was astounded to see that one of them had thousands and thousands of hits.  I couldn't believe it but apparently The Fiercest Easter Egg Competition in the World has been viewed by thousands of viewers.

Maybe they were like me and were searching for inspiration on the web to try and find an idea for decorating an egg for Easter. 

For those of you who don't know my children's Sunday School has an egg decorating contest every year and it's fiercely contested.

So, this years effort will be - Shrek and Fiona.

The colour of Shrek and Fiona isn't exactly perfect but it will do!

Last years effort was the Mr Men - Mr Bump and Mr Tickle to be precise.

My own personal favourite from years gone by is Finding Nemo - you have NO idea how long this took.  If I remember rightly this was attempt number ten!

My second favourite is probably Happy Feet.  If you look closely you'll see one of the penguins about to fall over!

And the final one I'll show you is Ratatouille.  You might see a theme running through here of kids films.  I'm not quite sure how that's happened, but as long as the kids are happy to keep competing I'll keep trying to be creative and dream up a new idea.

So the secret of a good egg??????

Is car spray paint.  Remember, you heard it here first!  And as for the white stripes on Nemo, that was white hammerite paint.  The things you'll do for your kids...............
