This is a fun interactive game that children love to play. It encourages vocabulary development and colour recognition. Depending on the concepts you are trying to develop you can make the eggs using plain coloured felt as I have or introduce patterns. This felt set is easy to make. No sewing at all. This is how we play. First, talk about the eggs, highlighting colours, perhaps you could count them as well. Then,in a sneaky way, hide the chick underneath one of the eggs. If children are younger you might need to let the chick poke out just a little in the beginning. Then chant with the children: Little Chick, Little Chick Playing hide and seek. Are you under the [colour ] egg? Let’s take a peek. Children take turns guessing which egg the chick is hiding under by identifying an egg by colour and removing it to search underneath for the chick. For example: Are you under the red egg? If the child’s guess is incorrect replace egg and begin again. The chick is 8 cm tall (just over 3 inches) and the eggs are 9 cm tall (almost 4 inches).

This is a fun interactive game that children love to play. It encourages vocabulary development and practice describing eggs by size. This felt set is easy to make. No sewing at all.

Then, in a sneaky way, hide one of the rabbits underneath one of the eggs. If children are younger you might need to let the rabbit poke out just a little in the beginning. Then chant with the children: Little Bunny, Little Bunny ‘Won’t you come out and play I wonder which egg you’re hiding under today. Are you under the [large/medium/small ] egg? Let’s take a peek. Children then take turns guessing which sized egg the rabbit is hiding under by identifying an egg by size and removing it to search underneath for the rabbit. If the child’s guess is incorrect replace egg and begin again. Each rabbit is 10.5 cm tall (just over 4 inches) and the eggs are 12.5, 16 and 19cm cm tall (5, 6.25 and 7.25 inches).
