WIKI NOTE: It is thought that the origin of the tradition of eating eggs at the end of winter is reminiscent of the Ice Age in prehistoric times. After the hard winter, when only remaining provisions, with the arrival of spring birds returning from the south (this only applies to the northern hemisphere) began to lay eggs, of which humans are fed until they could return hunting with the advent of better temperatures.

- HOW TO MAKE AN EGGHEAD CLOWN
1. EGGHEAD: How to get an empty eggshell?
*First of all, wash the egg with soap and water. This is the way to get rid of any germs (specifically salmonella).
*Place the egg with one end up. Use carefully the thumbtack to make a hole at the center.
*Turn the egg over. Repeat the process on the other end of the egg. In this process, the eggshell could break badly. If this happens, do it again carefully with another egg.
*Then, take a big breath and blow through the hole. Keep blowing and repeat until there is no longer liquid inside the egg.
*Run water into the empty eggshell, shake it around, and blow the water out.
Yeah, the egg is ready to make the clown!

NOTE: If this process seems a bit complicated, just boil an egg. That way, it works well too.

- Striped costume / Cut the serpentine into pieces for the number stripes of the clown costume. Place them one by one on the cardboard roll of toilet paper. Fix them inside the cardboard roll with clear tape.
