These are very simple ornaments-- a fun baby-sitting project for grade-schoolers.

1 Ball 770-100 Lion Crochet Cotton, White 

(each ornament takes about 2 yards.

 Small balloons (we used the ones sold as 'water balloons')
School glue
Clear or white glitter
Ribbon of your choice
Optional item to hang inside egg

Create these fanciful Easter Egg ornaments by dipping cotton yarn in water-soluable school glue and forming it over a balloon. While the glue is wet, you can shake glitter over it. When it dries (takes about 3 hours) the balloon is then popped and pulled out of the ornament.

Teachers: There are 400 yards [400 m] in a ball of Lion Crochet Cotton, so if you have a class of 30, that is almost 13 yards of yarn per student -- enough to make about six ornaments -- so a single ball will be plenty for an entire class!
