Open interactive activity →Add to play journal →What you need
Paper and large child-appropriate crayons.
Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.
Stay with the child throughout. Check the space and supplies, including anything within reach of younger siblings. Skip any activity that is unsuitable. Stop if a child puts non-food material in their mouth or becomes distressed. Use intact books, full sheets of paper, a large child-appropriate crayon and a clean, dry towel. Follow product labels; remove torn paper and keep broken crayons and caps away from children. Adult handles and stores supplies.
Set up: An adult draws a large egg outline if the child wants help.
Adult's role: Stay beside the child and invite them to choose patterns.
Let's make it happen
- Draw a large egg outline on the paper.
- Divide it into wide bands and decorate them with dots, waves, or lines.
- Color the bands and draw a place for the pretend egg.
Make it simpler: Fill the outline with one favorite color.
Clean up: Put away the paper and crayons.
This activity uses a drawn egg; no real egg is needed.
