Make these cute happy Yeggs for Easter fun!
Any yarn, any gauge. (I used DK and 4mm needles)
Great for using up scraps.
All instructions, including five different Yeggs, and ideas for using your Yeggs, such as a Yegg-lympics or Yegg hunt.
Bonus! Yegg wrappers to put around your Yeggs if you are giving them away at an Easter Service

Other games you could play:
Kim’s Yeggs – put half a dozen Yeggs on a tray, then cover with a cloth a secretly remove one. Take away the cloth and see who can describe the missing Yegg.
Matching Yeggs – have several pairs of matching Yeggs and put them under bowls. Players take turns to lift two bowls. They keep the Yeggs of they are a matching pair. Player with the most Yeggs wins.
Fashion Yeggs – make a paper costume for your Yegg. Who will yours be? Yegg Sheeran? A Yeggephant?
Yegg-Splat – divide the room in half and put the same(ish) number of years in each half (ie, 2 six-year-olds = 1 twelve-year-old), and the same number of Yeggs. Set a timer for one minute and each team has to try to get all of the Yeggs out of their half and into the other team’s half. The winner is the team with the fewer eggs on their side of the room.
Yegg-splosion – Start with a dozen Yeggs and one extra Yegg-sploding Yegg. This will (pretend) explode when touched and cover the player with Yegg-goo. Players take turns to remove 1, 2 or 3 (normal) Yeggs. Whoever takes the last Yegg must act out the Yegg-splosion and loses that round.
Hint – This is the game Nim. Can you work out a winning strategy?
