Plastic Egg Letter Matching Game

I do have a new recipe post that I'll get up in a bit, but I wanted to share this craft with you all first. I have a couple kids who are just learning to identify their letters and this is a fun way to let them "play" while they learn uppercase and lowercase letter matching.

It's very simple and all you need are some plastic eggs and a sharpie. Put the two halves of the letter together and write the uppercase letter on the large side of the egg and the lowercase letter on the smaller part of the egg. This reinforces the idea of the "big" letter and the "little" letter.

When you have all of the letters written on the eggs, take them apart and put them into a basket of some sort. Let your kids put the letters back together and see how well they do! I've been amazed at how well my girls did after playing with them for the first time. The rest of the day they would point to something and be able to identify an uppercase or lowercase letter. It was a really fun learning activity and it was free! My favorite kind :)

My girls really enjoyed this one and I'm thinking of other was we can use letter eggs, maybe to play ABC bingo...I haven't decided yet. But, I do know that the kids were excited to use these yesterday and went in search of them this morning as well.

It's a cute and clever way to reuse the plastic eggs. You have to love it when learning and fun collide!
