The class consists of two parts. In the first part of the class, children will listen to the story about Russian tsar Alexander ordering a very special gift for his beloved tsarina Maria for Easter. The story will transport children to imperial Russia with its splendor of the royal palace and magnificence of the powerful tsar. They will learn about jeweler Peter Karl Faberge, world's most famous maker of Easter eggs. Students will see some of the most beautiful Faberge Eggs and learn about their "secrets". In a second part of the class, students will make their own Easter egg craft inspired by Faberge Eggs. PLEASE MAKE SURE TO CHECK THE LIST OF MATERIALS NEEDED FOR THE CRAFT.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a graduate of Temple University in Philadelphia with bachelor degree in Psychology. Also, I studied Early Childhood Education in Israel and Ukraine.
Before I started teaching on Outschool, I've being teaching creativity classes inspired by classical music and fine art in afternoon preschool program working with Pre-K through 2 Grade children. Earlier, I was a homeschooling mom for 7 years.
I believe that childhood is the best time to inspire human creativity. By regularly exposing children to works of art and classical music as well as helping kids to process their experiences through games, crafts, and dramatic play, adults have an opportunity to cultivate their creativity.
I LOVE reading books in general and children's literature in particular. I think there are so many great and beautiful kids' books waiting to be discovered. I also love co-creating with the kids: bouncing my ideas of theirs.
