📋Step by step instructions

STEP 1: Write an upper case letter on each egg with the permanent marker. You will want to make sure that you write it in such a way that when taken apart a kid can figure out how to put it together again.

STEP 2: Break the eggs in half and put them in a basket.

STEP 3: Have children try and put the eggs back together to form the letter.

My girls love puzzles and when I told them we had a new egg puzzle to put together, they were intrigued. I wasn't sure if they could do it or not. They are three and a half and I have done this with Kindergarten students. But they were able to do them all and are still playing with this Easter Egg Letter Matching Game days later.

I think it helped that they were searching for eggs that were the same color to put together. Once they put them together, they would twist them until the letter lined up on the top and bottom half of the egg to see if they had the correct letter. A great egg-stention (you know I had to go there!) and another Easter egg idea is to have the kids line up the eggs in alphabetical order when they are done. This is why it helps to have 26 eggs.
