Profile:
Using open-ended resources such as our Wooden Treasures alongside simple materials like cardboard, this activity invites children to explore patterns, develop fine motor skills, and engage in sorting experiences.

What you'll need:

Instructions:

  1. Draw an egg shape into some scrap carboard and cut out your shape. You may wish to create a pattern for children to follow or simply leave them blank. If you wish to create a pattern use a marker to draw this onto your egg shape.

  2. Place a variety of loose parts out for children to create their patterns with. Consider placing out pieces that vary in shape, colour an size, this way children have more opportunities to explore attributes as they create their easter eggs.

  3. You may want to take a phot of each egg children create and note down their comments about their egg, patterns or what they noticed. Place these photos and comments in a display book for children to come back to and reflect on their creations.
