 Easter Eggs Overview: In this lesson the students learn about the difference between warm colors and cool colors.  The eggs are colored with warm colors to make them stand out against a cool colored background.

1- Discuss warm colors: red, orange and yellow.  Color the eggs using only warm colors.

2-Discuss cool colors: purple, blue and green.  Color the background these colors.  I also allowed the kids to use white in their backgrounds.
3- Cut out the eggs and glue them onto the cool colored background.
