Play-doh Easter eggs

Supplies Required:

Play-doh
Sequins, glitter, confetti, etc.

Guess where we got the idea for this project?  Yes, you guessed it, Pinterest:  http://www.puttiprapancha.com/2012/03/playdough-easter-eggs.html.  We started out trying to make some Easter eggs with water balloons and embroidery floss dipped in a starch-flour mixture (another Pinterest idea that E's grandmother had so kindly brought us the supplies for) but that activity failed miserably.  E couldn't really help with it because it required too much dexterity for a 3-year-old, and so she quickly got bored.  I hated the project because the floss kept getting stuck in knots, and I have no patience when it comes to untangling things.  So we unfortunately had to abandon that project, and we decided to make Play-doh Easter eggs instead.  Easy and fun!  We made some Play-doh into egg shapes (over time, our Play-doh colors have gotten all mixed up, which made the eggs even prettier) and then decorated them with glitter and some purple and blue flower sequins I had.  But you could use all sorts of things to decorate them.  See the finished product below (they looked much prettier in person...thanks to my lack of photography skills, the picture doesn't do the finished product justice).
