EGG COUNTING PUZZLES (1-10)
Why not set up an invitation to play using these ‘Egg Counting Puzzles’?
Select those appropriate for your children (1-10 available) and allow them to match the number with the corresponding number of eggs. Each pair has a different way of connecting as a puzzle for the children to match and so even if they haven’t learnt what the number looks like yet, but are beginning to say the numbers in order, this can be a fun way to introduce them to new challenges.
Once the puzzles are complete, why not line the numbers up in order and count together? If your children would enjoy a further challenge, leave out a number and see if they can spot which one is missing from the sequence.
Puzzles could also be used as a fine motor control/counting activity if left uncut. Children could be given an appropriate number for their learning and encouraged to place objects on the eggs, counting as they go.
In addition, each number is also written as a word. For our youngest children, this adds to learning about text in the environment and how it has meaning. Our oldest children may start to recognise the words and associate them with the numbers. This will be beneficial for when they begin to read and write these words in subsequent years as they will have something to build on.

LOOSE PART EGGS SIZE INVESTIGATION
Explore size and shape with this loose parts investigation. Print both the ‘big’ and the ‘small’ egg. Describe the shapes. Perhaps extend older children by asking ‘How are they similar?’ ‘How are they different?’ With younger children focus on the vocab ‘big’ and ‘small’. Why not investigate how many e.g. duplo bricks or perhaps Easter themed objects you can fit in each and then compare the amounts? Adapt for different ages by using smaller or larger loose parts. Why not involve a tool such as tweezers in the process to develop fine motor skills? For our youngest children these templates could also be used as a stimulus to sort small and big objects…e.g a table of objects with a small and big version of each and the children place the objects next to the appropriate egg.

COLOUR EGG MEMORY GAME
Colour matching Egg themed memory game. Can be played as suggested as a game to strengthen memory and colour recognition skills or adapted for much younger children to build the foundations of learning colours. For example, line up 4 cards (2 of each colour) and match the pairs together. By making colour the only variable, it makes it easier for children to make the connections in order to categorise colours.
