Mostly Egg Trays


Leap Frog Human Body glow-in-the-dark skeleton stickers. Bobo is interested in bones. They can be dinosaur bones, fossils and especially skeletons.


Jack and the Beanstalk and the goose who laid the golden egg activity. We found this kit at Big Lots!


Magnetic eggs. I put the magnet balls inside the eggs and used the wands from our kit. You can twirl the wand above the eggs and they will spin around. We also took these in the bath for a floating experiment. When the magnets were in the eggs, they floated. They sunk by themselves. Bobo also discovered the wand stuck to the bath tub.


Matching sounds with kitchen items. First, Bobo identified the items in the egg container: rice, lentils, M&Ms, noodles, fruit snacks and coffee. Then, he shook the eggs to guess what is inside. Finally, he ate all the good things.


Shape identification. Daddy supervised this activity. Bobo needs to work on the names of shapes. When I came home from work, all the shapes were missing. Not sure what happened? Maybe we can identify them when we find them again.


Crayola Glowing activity. This tray was requested. We've used it several times before... There are a couple of different themes in the box.

Preschool Trays: Valentine's Day


Magnetic science tray. Bobo asked for the magnet balls and I added the pipe cleaner hearts.


Heart skewers in styrofoam. Stickers on heart-shaped box.


Heart beads and heart-shaped boxes.


I didn't get pictures of some of the invitations because Bobo was so eager to decorate. He filled a vase with heart gems and flowers. He put together the materials for this one.


I love these stamp sets they sell at the Dollar Tree. They are the perfect size with nice variety. The stamp pad was dry from this one, but we've gotten ones in the past that worked. I just used another stamp pad. Or you can use paint.


And now some non-related trays. Daddy's concert is coming up this week, so there's lots of music and practice. Bobo has his own music tray.


And a couple of trays that came in our early learning bag this month. Drawing shapes.


Thomas wooden puzzles. The puzzles we borrow in these bags are so much better than the ones I've bought at the dollar store. I'm inspired to look for high-quality puzzles, now.
