Research the symbol of the egg and its connection to spring holidays. Read <u>The Golden Egg</u> or another book with illustrations of Easter eggs and symbols. When did the custom of exchanging decorated eggs begin? In which cultures? How is this tradition similar to the Easter eggs that are decorated today?

Color an entire sheet of construction paper in wide stripes using various colors of Crayola Multicultural Markers. With Crayola Scissors, cut the page into strips. Save one strip for a handle.

After weaving, turn the ends under and glue them with Crayola School Glue. Glue the handle to your basket. Glue your basket to the background paper. Dry.
