Eggs

Today with Mother Goose Time we learned about eggs.  During circle time we sang One Egg, Two Eggs while rolling "eggs" across the counter.  

The shape of the month is the hexagon.  I hid the pattern blocks in a tray of paper and the girls had to try and find the hexagon shaped eggs.  

We learned about painted eggs using a wax resistant technique.  It's a Ukraine tradition and the eggs are called pysanka.  The girls made their own painted eggs by painting over pictures they drew with crayons.  

I hung egg pictures on our wall.  We talked about the different length of time it takes for eggs to hatch.  I'd set a timer and when it went off the girls got to turn over the egg they were closest to. 

The girls made a nest out of pillows and blankets and pretended to be different animals hatching.
