When Easter is over, what do you do with all of those plastic eggs? Maybe you can keep them for next year. Great idea! However, one option is to turn those eggs into a fun learning activity for kids.

After I received my teaching certification, I started my own tutoring business. Finding fun, engaging activities that kids loved was a highlight of that time. I love playing games, so why not turn that passion into ways for kids to enjoy learning.

Young kids want hands-on ways to learn their letters. I have several ideas on my site, and I will link to more at the end of this post. Here I will provide this idea, a materials list, written instructions and a video tutorial for bringing it all together.

How to Use Plastic Easter Eggs to Teach Upper and Lowercase Letters

1. Break apart your Easter eggs and un-match all of the colors, having a different color top and bottom.
2. Put uppercase letters on the top half and lowercase letters on the bottom half. This can be done with either stickers or a Sharpie.
3. Once all of the eggs have been made, break them apart on put them in a basket.
4. The goal is for kids to match the uppercase letter with the lower case letter and re-attach the eggs.
5. Kids can race against each other or just see how many they can find.
6. While kids are finding letters, you can reinforce the letter names and sounds. Say things like, “Great job! You found the B. B says buh.
7. Set goals. Have sticker awards for every 5 they find if they are having a hard time staying motivated. If you are engaged with them and enthusiastic, they will stay engaged in the game longer. Have fun with it.
