Happy Friday! Let’s make an Easter Egg hunt a little more challenging! 😊 Instead of just hiding the eggs around the house or out in the yard, first wrap them in some aluminum foil. Have your kids find the eggs and see how fast they can unwrap the aluminum foil to see what’s inside! Not only does this activity work on visual scanning skills to locate the eggs, but the added aluminum foil task works on those little pincer muscles and bilateral coordination skills (using two hands together). Once the eggs are “hatched,” have them put them back together – this will continue building grasping and bilateral coordination skills. 🐣
If you don’t have Easter eggs at home, that’s okay! Find any manipulative/small toy around your house and wrap it in aluminum foil (see example in the image below). Play the same “hide and hunt” game as you would’ve with Easter eggs!
Happy hunting! 👀 Hope you all enjoy this beautiful day and have a wonderful spring break! ☀️🌸
