My Favorite Ways to Use Eggs to Promote Speech & Language Skills!

​
​Use nontraditional "eggs" . . . a sports ball egg, jelly bean eggs, dinosaur eggs, even
​a carrot egg!

Eggs don't necessarily need to be filled with candy.. try using small toys that may delight your child and give him/her something to talk about!

Talk about the appearance of
the egg . . . its color,
​ size, texture, and pattern ("Is it shiny?" "Is it sparkly?" "Is it big or small?" "Does it have polka dots?")

Choose eggs with funny faces (or you or your child may want to draw your own!)


​I just learned that 
​play-doh eggs are a thing now!  Who knew that wrapping some play-doh around plastic eggs would provide SO much sensory fun!

​
​Put stickers on the eggs to identify them by a favorite object or a popular character.

The traditional dying of the eggs provides lots of opportunity for language . . .the colors, the actions (drop!, break!, color, dry), and the reactions ("Ooh!" "Wow!" "Look!" )
