Musical Eggs

This musical egg activity turns plastic eggs into percussion instruments and your little musician into Robert Plant- yeah, not really- but you can dream... Fun for Easter, but definitely can be enjoyed all year.  Each egg will kick a brand new flava in your ear.

If you have a junk drawer, now is the time to raid it! This is a simple project for school age kids, but enjoyable play for toddlers. You can gently shake them for babies (not too close) to introduce them to different sounds.

Ingredients:
Plastic Easter Eggs
Hot Glue Gun
Variety of Objects:* dried beans, pebbles, buttons, tiny bells, rice, coins, etc...
Ribbon [optional]
Empty Egg Carton [optional]
Search around your house & outside for small objects, tiny enough to fit inside a plastic egg. An empty egg carton is convenient for keeping items organized & for future musical egg storage.  Allow kids to search for items- like a treasure hunt. Try a variety of objects to create a diverse range of sounds.

Get the glue gun ready. Place items inside eggs. Glue one side of the egg, then close it. Hold together until it cools. For reinforcement, you can glue around the seam of the egg. To hide the unsightly glue- just wrap a ribbon around the egg [not pictured] while the glue is still pliable. Voila!

Now you are ready to form a band & go on tour. Start the PR machine rolling...

*Major Warning: These eggs are not Fort Knox- Adult supervision required until age 4 as some items may pose an extreme choking hazard.
