EGGS!



 What to do with all of these plastic eggs?  If your home is like ours, after this beautiful spring holiday, we are inundated with plastic eggs!  What do we do with all of these eggs?  I have some great ideas on what to do with them!  Come to ECFE to learn a few uses...I will post pictures of our week as well as the ideas!  Math Ideas:  write a number on an egg, have children count out that many of something (pompoms, beans, candy) and put them in the egg.  Write a numeral on one half of an egg and the corresponding number of dots on the other half.  take them apart and hide them in rice, sand, water etc. Have kids match up the numeral to the dots.  Alphabet Eggs:  write a capital letter on one half and a lower case letter on the other half, hide in rice, sand, water or just put in a basket and have your child match the uppercase letter to the lowercase letter.   Put a dozen eggs in an egg carton.  In each egg put a piece of paper with a number or letter on it.  Choose an egg, open it up and write the letter or number that is on the paper.
