a dozen things to do with a dozen plastic eggs

(with your toddler)
1. Sort them by color.



2. Count them.


3. Put them in an egg carton, take them out. Repeat. For the more advanced toddler, color the insides of the egg compartments to coordinate with your eggs and match them.


4. Take them apart, put them together. Mix and match. Repeat.


5. Make them into shakers and shake them. Fill with rice, beans, etc. and tape shut.


6. Shake them to music.


7. Shake the eggs to simple directions like, "Shake them up high, shake them down low".


8. Mix and match colors, then spin them on a hard surface.


9. Roll two or three along a hard surface, trying to get them to collide or race.



10. Hit the eggs with a rolled up newspaper (kind of like golf).


11. Take three halves and hide a jellybean under one - have your toddler find the jellybean.


12. Egg hunt of coarse!


HAPPY EASTER!

  1. How did you think of all those things with 3 kids so young? I just hope I don't leave one of the babies behind when I go somewhere.

  2. Great Ideas! Gotta make the most of these little eggs. Seems like we have so many of them right after Easter.
