Arts & Crafts - Pysanka

I love creating Ukranian Easter Eggs. Some of these are of my own design, others are from various books on this ancient craft.

When my boys were in their early elementary years, I brought in my tools and some finished eggs so that the children could touch and experience these little treasures for themselves. This began as an informal sharing when my boys were in kindergarten.

In May of 2008, I was invited to share my pysanka with the first graders as part of Brewster's One World Celebration in their MAGIC progam (Music & Art Grow in Children integrated art program), which was a joy and an honor. More about this event can be found in my School Volunteer pages.
