Games to play with plastic eggs

1. Match two halves to make a whole egg.

• Separate all the colored eggs. Find matching colors to make a complete egg. Or mix and match colors to make new eggs.

2. Roll eggs down an inclined plane.

• Secure a cardboard ramp to a chair or table. Place a basket or other container at the base of the ramp to collect the eggs.

3. Explore eggs with water play.

• Observe how a plastic egg floats on water. Then hold an egg under the water until it is filled with water. Observe the water displacement of the heavier egg, with a portion of the egg immersed in the water.
• Place a toy car or other item with weight inside an egg to observe buoyancy.

4. Match dots on plastic eggs to dots in egg carton.

• Tape a colored dot on each egg. Place matching dots in the egg carton. 
• Place the eggs in a basket or in the lid of the egg carton.
