Eggshell Shape Smash

A smashing way to learn and play.

What you’ll need:

• Eggshells

• A toy hammer or mallet

• A permanent marker

• A baking sheet

• Paper towel

• Soap and water

Step-by-step process:

1. Start by cracking some eggs for a meal, trying to split them evenly. Then, clean the shells with soap and water and let them dry on a paper towel.

2. Once dry, use the permanent marker to draw shapes on the shells. You can choose circles, stars, squares, triangles, or any shape your child is learning.

3. Place the shells on a baking sheet (for easy cleanup) and let your child identify a shape before smashing it with the toy hammer.

The act of smashing is not only incredibly satisfying for them but also helps develop their motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Plus, it's a great way to recycle eggshells into a fun learning activity.

Here's to a day filled with learning, laughter, and a little bit of mess.
