Make Michaelmas Dragon Eggs

Michaelmas is just around the corner and our sweet friend Laura, @cosy.waldorf.fam, made this sweet craft to celebrate. These eggs hide a secret gem that your little one will have to get out!

Gather Your Supplies:

These are the tools we used to create our Michaelmas Dragon Eggs:

• Air dry clay or salt dough
• Mineral stones
• Paint
• Paint brush

Create your Michaelmas Dragon Eggs:

Step 1:  

Take a small amount of air dry clay or salt dough, shape it into a ball & make it flat.

Step 2: 

Put a mineral stone in the middle and warp it with the air dry clay/salt dough.

Step 3: 

Roll into an egg shape.

Step 4: 

Let dry completely.

Step 5: 

Paint as you like. Try to be creative!

Step 6: 

Let dry and enjoy your Michaelmas dragon eggs! Hide them on Michaelmas and have your kids use a hammer or stone (with supervision) to "open" the eggs to find the stones inside.
