Hey There Kids! Paint Easter Eggs Like Your Old Comic Friends!
Here you are kids! All of your old friends celebrating Eastertide. Here's Ev. True looking cross and almost ready to have an outburst and break right through his shell. Here's the bear with a grin so wide it may meet in the back and divide his face right in two. You've heard of Easter bunnies but where did you ever hear of an Easter bear before?
Now get busy, kids, and see how much like your old friends you can make your Easter eggs!
Easter Eggs Decorated With Comics, Superheros, Sci-Fi, And American Nostalgia:
Easter Eggs Masquerade as Cartoon Characters: Easter eggs may be transformed into likenesses of cartoon and
nursery-tale characters, with attractively colored cut-outs now
available in book form. Each design provides both a base and a headpiece
for a tinted egg, as shown, and the book contains materials for
dressing up twenty eggs in different guises.
