Recently when driving my school bus, I noticed that a few of my students were carrying real eggs around with them and asked them what they were doing. They said that it was a class assignment. They had to be responsible for and take care of their egg babies. This was to simulate what it would be like to be a parent. I can tell you from my experience, this isn't even close to what is like being a real parent. One of the girls asked me to crochet a hat for her baby which ended up being more than one. She had twins. I laughed at first and then decided I was up for the challenge. I crocheted little matching bonnets for her twins, a bonnet for another girl, and a earflap beanie complete with pompom on top for a boy in the class. The eggs in the picture are not their actual eggs. I drew on faces of these eggs so that I could have models for the hats just for you. I hope you get a kick out of it as much as I did. I told the kids that they should ask for extra credit since they had custom clothes made for their egg babies.
