Easter Egg With Stripes and Rows of Dots

A single large egg fills the page, drawn with a thick, clean outline. Across the middle sit several horizontal bands. Near the top there are two thin stripes, then a wide band holding a row of nine small oval dots, with the ones at each end cut off by the edge of the egg. A plain wide band follows in the center, then another row of nine ovals, and two more thin stripes near the bottom. The top and bottom tips are left empty. The plain center band is a great spot for a name, a pattern of your own, or a bit of glitter glue. Try coloring each row of dots in a repeating sequence, like red, yellow, blue, to practice patterns with younger kids. The printable lines are bold enough for crayons or markers.
