Games to play with plastic eggs
1. Make a whole egg from two halves.
Separate all the colored eggs. Find matching colors to make a complete egg. Or mix and match colors to make new eggs.
Add a small object to each egg before closing the two halves together. What sound does it make when you shake the egg?
2. Roll eggs on an inclined plane.
Secure a piece of sturdy cardboard to a chair or table with tape to make a ramp. Place a container at the base of the ramp to collect the eggs.
Use containers of different colors or number the containers for more math practice.
3. Explore sink-and-float 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 a portion of the heavier egg immersed in the water.
Place a toy car or other item with weight inside an egg to observe buoyancy.
4. Match plastic eggs to colorful dots.
Tape a colored dot to each egg. Place matching dots in the egg carton. Match eggs to the color in the egg carton.
These dot stickers tend to lift from the plastic so an extra piece of tape will keep them in place. Or you could mark the eggs and egg carton cups with a numeral or a letter of the alphabet instead of using dots.
5. Find hidden eggs.
Hide the eggs around the room for a scavenger hunt. Sort the eggs into small pails with matching colors, or place them in the egg carton with matching dots in Game 4.
Try these Easter games with your preschooler or toddler for some fun learning through play.
