Last week we were learning about different Easter celebrations and traditions around the world. We focused on 2 main traditions...the Greek Orthodox way of celebrating Easter and the traditional art of Pysanky egg design from Ukraine.

You can watch the video about the Greek celebration by clicking on the red eggs below!!

We have also been decorating eggs using the Ukraine traditional art of Pysanky. You can use this game to decorate your egg.... stamp on your design in wax (You wont see it at first) Then choose what colour wax you want in the glass.... and then use the hand to pick up the egg and dip it in the glass of ink! See what lovely colourful and interesting designs you can make.
