Jordan entered the junior school egg decorating competition this Easter. It was the first year he was able to participate. After much discussion we all agreed that he should make Sid the Sloth & his dinosaur eggs from the film Ice Age 3. We turned a box into a cave with newspaper & tissue paper. Jordan & I both got bored sticking that down but it really didn't take too long in the end!
We covered the top with cotton wool snow & Jordan made a sign to tell everyone what his entry was all about!
Jordan did an eggscellent job re-creating Shelly, Eggbert & Yoko!
And his efforts at making Sid the Sloth were fantastic (even if I do say so myself)! Sid's body is a hard boiled egg & his features & appendages are made from air drying clay. When they had dried out we glued them onto the egg & Jordan painted Sid with my acrylic paints.
He was over the moon with the finished results!
Jordan & Sid are now the best of friends! And when all the wonderful entries were judged on the last day of term Jordan won 1st prize! (There was a 1st & 2nd prize for each year group). Timmy & Luke were really pleased that their brother won the prize! Lee asked me how we are going to top this year's entry next year. I said I didn't think we would even try! And how I am going to co-ordinate three lots of egg decorating when the twins are in the juniors too, I really don't know! I guess we will see when we get to that point! In the meantime we are still eggstremely proud that Jordan did so well. Sid & his eggs are sitting on our hearth in pride of place. How long is it before the eggs go off though????? :o}

I remember Helen winning a competition at that age, in Ardeley, when she made a Viking ship out of a banana for 'best fruit or veg decoration'! No digi cameras then though!!!
