Monday: Monday brings lots of fun with an Egg Rescue Box. Get any small to medium box or storage container, painter's or masking tape, plastic eggs or small balls, a couple of spoons (large or small depending on your Duck). Place eggs\balls in a box or container. Create several criss-cross patterns on top of box with tape. Give your Duck a spoon, and let them fish out the objects out of the box. If they get bored, add some small toys to the mix! Great exercise for fine motor control.

Tuesday-Cross Painting: Let your toddler use bright finger paints on a paper plate or card stock sheet. When paint dries, cut out a black cross. Glue cross to picture!

Wednesday-Chalk Fun! Get outside & color your driveway, sidewalk, trees, fences, etc.! Raining? Chalk color on dark color construction paper!

Thursday --Foil Eggs & Sharpies. Warning! Get out a bib or old shirt! Sharpies are permanent markers. Cut egg shape out of cardboard or cardstock. Cover eggshape with foil shinny side up. Secure back with a little tape. Let your Duck color egg. That's it! Waterbased markers will not work with this project.

 

Friday-Egg Shakers: Plastic spoons, plastic eggs, rice, duct tape (Most toddler resistant). Add some rice to a plastic egg. Seal egg with a little duct tape. Place plastic spoons on each side of egg. Secure egg shaker with more duct tape. Turn on some music & shake your maracas!
