One of the great parts of doing homeschool for preschool is that any day can be time for school. So today when I was cleaning up all the plastic eggs and thought about all the fun learning activities with plastic eggs we did last year, we got to have an impromptu math lesson.
Plastic Egg Math Activity
I picked out eggs in two different colors, separated them and then wrote numbers on one half of each egg and made dots on the other half of each egg, using a permanent marker. (Hand sanitizer takes it right off afterwards.)
Then I had my preschoolers match the numbers up to the correct number of dots.
This plastic egg learning activity is a fun way to work on one-to-one correspondence and counting skills.
My youngest was having a little trouble snapping his eggs together, but he found a solution. He decided to just stack the halves on top of each other.

Great idea! We had a ton of plastic eggs this year. There was a local egg hunt for kids enrolled in our school district grades pre-k to 2nd grade. We had eggs all over the house even tho only one of my daughters was young enough to participate lol 🙂
Our kids are a little older for this one, but this is perfect for preschool age kids!

Yes, these are definitely designed more for preschool, but I have seen some manipulatives with them for older kids.
