Growing  an egg-head

Planting in an eggshell is a fun and educational activity for kids of all ages!  Here is how you can help your child's language (and egg-head) grow!

Beginning language learners at the 1-3 word levels:
  • Talk about what you are doing at the 1-3 word level (ex: Mommy wash egg, Daddy break egg, I pour dirt, etc.)
  • Talk about your hands or the table being dirty. 
  • Take pictures of each step (breaking the egg, pouring the dirt, pushing the seed, spraying/pouring the water).  Review the pictures with your child to help them talk about each step after the activity is complete.
For higher level language learners:
    • Show your child a picture of a plant in an eggshell.  Work together to figure out what steps you need to take to make your very own egg-head.
    • Discuss with your child what type of egg you should use-- a raw egg?  Hard boiled egg?  Why?
    • Talk about the egg shell being fragile.  What does that mean?  Can (s)he think of other things that are fragile?
