Have you ever just had an idea come to you? That's how this activity came to be. I was looking at the plastic Easter eggs that we re-use every year and was noticing the small holes on the bottom. It made me think of how they could be made into a fun water wall for my child to play with. So that's what I did! Lincoln helped me create this and he is super proud of it. In fact, he claims HE came up with the idea, so I let him take the credit! :) It was incredibly fun! We tried it with plain … [Read more...]

I love finding new ways to color eggs. There are so many unique ways to decorate eggs, but it can be hard to know which ones are easy for kids and which ones really turn out well. Today I'm sharing 7 ways to decorate eggs AND I'm judged them! Yep. I said it.

Letter Sound Matching Game

by Angela Thayer 9 Comments

I love Target! Every time I'm there, I browse their dollar section. Last week, I found some adorable foam eggs! I grabbed a few packs and I'm so glad I did because they were sold out a few days later! When I snagged these eggs, I thought they would make a great alphabet letter matching game, but I realized we've done a lot of matching games (like this one) and my son is working more on beginning letter sounds. So, I created a letter sound matching game for my 4-year-old. For this game, I put … [Read more...]
