For some reason, A is fascinated by eggs. When she hadn't started crawling, I got boiled/unpeeled egss in a bowl and she actually dragged herself from one side of the bed to other to touch them and play with them. After seeing this, I started giving her eggs for playing a lot more. With her age and based on what I am going to make out of eggs, the activities keep changing a little bit. Few ideas are documented here:
1. Initially I used to give her boiled, unpeeled eggs for playing
2. Later if I had to make omellete etc, I would break the egg and used to ask her to put the shell in the dustbin. She learnt that shells go to dustbin and on the way she was very happy crushing the shell. Note that all this was always nuder adult supervision
3. With time that this sticky liquid comes out of the eggs if you break them. So now, I started giving her spoon to break them for omellete and she gently taps the eggs with the spoons to break them. I help in taking the liquid out in a bowl.
4. The bowl goes to her for mixing/beating with the spoon
5. If I boil egg, I give her for breaking the shell and peeling.
It is a great sensory activity starting from like 8 months till.. Well I don't know. My little one is 16 month old and she still enjoys it.
