• Permanent marker - to write each letter of the alphabet on the eggs
• Basket - to hold the halves of the eggs

How To Make and Play Easter Egg Letter Game

STEP 1: Write an uppercase letter on each egg with the permanent marker. You will want to make sure that you write it so 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.

It helped that my kids were searching for eggs that were the same color to put together. Once they put them together, they would twist them until the letters lined up on the top and bottom half of the egg to see if they had the correct letter.  

Tips For Egg Eggs Activity

Tip 1: Instead of writing one letter on each egg, you can write a lowercase letter on one half of the egg and an uppercase letter on the other half.

Tip 2: After writing the letters with the permanent marker, give it a few minutes to dry before using.
