I don't remember that there is a size limitation for the egg drop at my kids
school. I used two pieces of 2" foam with half the egg shape carved out on
either side and then taped together. Where the carved shape was not
perfect, I filled it with spackling compound for a very tight fit. If the
egg can not move inside the foam it will not break-at least at the lower
speeds under a parachute. Used light ripstop for the parachute. Never broke
an egg.

Good luck,

I have to help my daughter make a parachute for an egg drop at school.
Are there any guidelines on design, such as canopy size for a weight
one of you might be able to share or a handy link.

Somehow I think my Strong is overkill.
