Here is a super fun and easy STEM project for your kindergarten, Pre-K, or first grade class that features a favorite nursery rhyme: Humpty Dumpty! So grab some extra plastic eggs and get ready for some Nursery Rhyme STEM Time fun! This project is actually one of many that I presented as part of my Nursery Rhyme STEAM Time workshop that I gave at the California Kindergarten Conference in Santa Clara in January, 2018, and the Southern California Kindergarten Conference in Pasadena in February, 2018 as well! I’m sure I will be presenting it again sometime soon, so keep watch on my Facebook or Instagram, or sign up for our email updates to find out where I’ll be next. And you can always ask your administrators to bring me to YOUR school! Email us at [email protected] to get more info on that! Humpty Dumpty STEM was actually quite simple to put together! First I had to figure out how to create Humpty out of a plastic egg. Since we actually did this last October, there we...

Here's a fun idea for those of you that enjoy using plastic eggs in your classroom:  Sight Word Eggs Match Up!  There's even a free recording sheet in it for you, too!   I'm hoping that by using an oil based paint pen, I will get words on the plastic eggs that are not easily rubbed off by little fingers. To make the Sight Word Eggs, I wrote the words with a Sharpie Paint Pen and then put the eggs on an egg carton to let them dry for a few seconds.  I found that if I just let go of the egg, if often rolled around on the table and the marker smeared.  A regular sharpie might also work just as well, but I think that using a paint pen will result in words that are more permanent on the eggs, so that I can use them again for several years if I want to.  Sometimes, those moist little hands can rub the writing off of plastic items!  Let's just not talk about where the moisture comes from.   :) As you can see, I wrote just the fi...

Here are several tips on how to teach children to count on to solve addition problems, plus a fun free download to help practice it, called Counting On Addition Eggs!  This freebie has a fun spring egg and chick theme, so that makes it extra fun!  Incorporating plastic eggs into learning centers and other academic activities during the springtime is super motivational for children and a natural fit for any early childhood classroom.  I think you're going to like this, so check it out! This is what the download looks like:  I uploaded it on Slideshare so that you could see the whole thing.   (You'll find the link to download this free file at the end of this post.) Preparation: 1. Copy the egg puzzle masters onto colored cardstock paper. Pastel colors work best so that the little yellow chick will show up! There are six pages to print, plus the number lines if you need them. To make it easier for your little ones, you may wish to ...

CVC Eggs are a fun little way to have kids practice building three letter words. I created this activity last year, but never got the chance to blog on it!  So now, before it is too late to enjoy it, here is my little idea, which is just one of so many wonderful ideas that integrate plastic eggs into the classroom!  At the end of the post, please tell us YOUR best idea for using plastic eggs, and leave a link, too, if there is one! Here is the link to the downloadable freebie recording page that goes with it. I hope that it’s not too late for you to enjoy this!  I usually continue to do bunny rabbit and egg themed activities after the big day anyway.  Do you?
