An idea for toddlers!
Count your eggs
- Plastic Eggs
- Egg Carton
- Marker
- 12 pieces of paper cut to fit in the eggs
Number the paper 1-12 and fill eggs - one with each number. Number the inside bottom of the egg cartons 1-12. Hide the eggs around your house and when your little one finds an egg open it and name the number. When all the eggs are found put them in order from 1-12 in the marked egg carton.
