Spring has sprung!

If signs of spring are not showing in the climate you are in, you’re sure to see them in almost every store you enter—plastic eggs line the shelves everywhere! Every color imaginable; in grocery stores, drugs stores, and in quantities of unbelievable amounts. We have found a practical and educational use for all those plastic eggs, and the kids are loving the game.

Easter Egg Alphabet Match: It’s inexpensive and easy to make—all you need is 26 plastic eggs and a permanent marker. Take a plastic egg, write an uppercase letter on the top half and the corresponding lowercase letter on the bottom half. Break the egg apart and place in a basket or on the floor. (Continue until you have completed all 26 letters of the alphabet, from A to Z.)

The fun begins! Ask your children to match the letters and put the eggs together. Once the matches are made I have the children place the whole eggs in real egg cartons that I have saved!
