Easter is getting closer! I wanted to introduce my girls to the easter eggs, but mostly I just thought they would enjoy them so why keep them hidden away? They did like them. I got a bag of 18 at the dollar store. Perfect.
I gave them an empty egg carton so they could put the eggs in and out. Alyssa put them in, Abby dumped them out.
Quick Thoughts:
- Next time they really need their own egg carton. After a while, Alyssa would just try to pick up the carton and run away with it each time Abby started heading her way. We got the eggs back out later while Abby was still napping and it was much easier to play.
- I really like how there are six different colors of eggs. Alyssa doesn't match them up perfectly yet, but it is introducing and reinforcing the matching concept. I filled one row and then she would fill the second row. I didn't push her into matching them, since this was the first time.
- Abby's favorite part was spilling all the eggs at once and saying "woah!" So we are practicing words here, too. We practiced putting the eggs down, but she doesn't really let go and she likes to shake them. I think it was better for her than the straw activity - less finely tuned motor skills needed.
