I knew right away I wanted to do something that didn't involve egg dye...less messy! I saw this ABC egg idea on Pinterest, and added my own little spin to it: magnetic letters. Your little ones will have fun matching up the letters to the right egg and hiding them inside. The best part - It all cost less than 5 dollars and took about 10 minutes to put together!
You'll need:
- plastic eggs {the standard size} in any colors
- letter stickers {mine are from Wal-Mart - $1}
- magnetic letters {Wal-Mart - $1.50}
- a Gallon size Ziploc bag
It's pretty simple to put this together! I just picked a letter out of the pile, put it inside a plastic egg, and stuck the matching letter sticker on the top half of the egg. You could also do upper/lower case matching. Get your kids in on the fun! My 3 year old had a blast helping me make these. When you're done, store all the eggs in a gallon Ziploc and you're set! A fun {& educational} little activity to pull out when you're out of ideas. {Which for me, seems to be all the time!}
It seems like we've had a week of guest posts :) Holly and I have been enjoying Spring Break and spending quality time with our kiddos! Next week we'll be back with some new projects and an announcement {for all the SNAP-goers!}
20 days and counting...
