In many parts of the world, eggs are a symbol of Easter – in Sweden too.
A fun tradition is to paint your own eggs!
What You Need:
A Game Idea:
• Boiled eggs
• Art paint (Like IKEA’s MÅLA paint)
• Paintbrushes in different sizes
Tap your egg lightly against
your friend’s egg. To make it
fair, both of you should tap
with the same side of the egg.
If your neighbour’s egg breaks
first, you are the winner! If
both eggs break, it is a draw.
What You Do:
Compete with your siblings or friends –
which egg is the best or funniest? Paint
dots, stripes, squares, chickens, other
animals or flowers.

Rapunzel, Rapunzel,
let down your hair.
SRT’s The Little Company opens the 2014 season with
a witty retelling of a perennial favourite – Rapunzel.
Get tangled up in this musical fairy
tale with a twist, and join Rapunzel
as she embarks on a journey of
self-discovery, helped by her zany
friends Montague the Prince, his
sidekick, Chester the Camel, Hugo the
Armadillo and Harriet the Roadrunner.
Along the way, Esme the Witch, who
has kept Rapunzel a prisoner in a
lonely tower, also learns a lesson or
two about friendship and love.
Be the first 15 to complete this activity and present
it at the Volvo Showroom at 249 Alexandra Road
to receive a free Volvo kid’s backpack*. Valid from
10 Mar – 13 Apr 2014.
