This Is For the Birds! - Part 4

Day Four - eggs!

So I must not have been thinking on this one.  It was a little above my girls' skill set if you're striving for perfection, which we're not, so you'll just have to laugh along with us at the results. : ) 

The day before we made nests.  Nests are for eggs, so today we made eggs!

They both like to use scissors, so I thought this would be relatively easy since I had drawn the shape to cut on the paper.  If I had to do this all over again, I might just do play dough eggs.  Nonetheless, the girls had a good time hacking away at the poor eggs and I had enough time to get dinner on the table!

They did a good job coloring.  We used crayola's slick sticks to color the eggs.  The color is very rich and the sticks glide easily onto the paper.  The girls liked them, too! 

I cut out a few for examples and did some hand over hand cutting, but they preferred cracked eggs for their nests.

Scissors and cutting challenge C and FL's motor skills in different ways.  Even though the results didn't turn out as I thought they would, the girls got a chance at using and improving their skills, which is the main point of all of this! 

We had eggshells everywhere! ; )

And here's the best of the best! 

Hope we made you smile!
