- Plastic Easter Eggs
- Building supplies: paper towel rolls, toilet paper rolls, playdough
- Small toys or candy
- Other: any materials kids think of to support their structures!
Phase 1: Draw a blueprint.
Let kids see all the supplies they’ll be able to use in their egg tower designs. Then have them plan a design and draw it on paper like a blueprint. Let them know that they can use full eggs, halves of eggs, and any materials they’d like in front of them or even find their own materials around the house. Explain that the goal is to stack the eggs as high as they can. They can accomplish this by placing eggs in paper rolls, stacking egg halves on top of each other, or using playdough like glue to connect the eggs to one another. Or maybe they’ll find an even more creative way to stack eggs, such as in a shoe!
Phase 2: Construct your egg tower.
Now kids can work off their blueprints to construct their physical tower, using all the materials they included in their drawings.
Phase 3: Evaluate your structure.
Encourage kids to discuss what worked from their blueprints and what didn’t go as planned. Where could they provide extra support to their towers? Some suggestions could be filling eggs with different items to adjust the weight and balance the eggs or adding more playdough in certain spots.
Fun Tip: Instead of separate towers, encourage kids to work together for this activity and imagine that they are building one giant castle for the Easter Bunny!
