DIY Egg Matching Game From Leftover Plastics Easter Eggs

It’s been awhile since I have shared a “Busy Bag Idea” on the Glued To My Crafts blog.

Actually – it’s been WAY TOO LONG! So today I’m making it MY MISSION to share a new learning game activity tutorial that is perfect before AND after Easter!

On that note, currently {as I write this Easter egg matching game post} Easter is probably far from our minds. BUT that means we still don’t have some plastic eggs laying around. Am I right?! Now with all that being said, before you throw them away, why not make a quick learning game out of them for your toddler or preschooler?

With this easy “Egg Matching Game” you can entertain your child for a bit AND teach them some color matching & fine motor skills. All for around $1.00 total {that’s if you have the plastic eggs on hand!}

Besides the upcycled plastic eggs, all you need is a sheet of white craft felt, scissors, a few large colored pom poms and a hot glue gun. Very basic materials!

So if this something that interests you, keep scrolling to check out the quick how-to and recreate it for your toddler today! I just know you both are going to love it!

Happy crafting, my friends! If you don’t mind, I would LOVE to see pictures of your finished matching game from plastic eggs and felt, on our Facebook page! I can’t wait to see your Easter egg busy bag in action! #gluedtomycrafts

Egg Matching Game From Leftover Plastics Easter Eggs & Felt

The Game Craft Supplies:

* Recycled CLEAN Plastic Eggs {as many as you like – in any color!}
* Various Colors of Craft Pom Poms {one per plastic egg}
* White Craft Felt {one sheet gives you about four eggs}
* Fabric Craft Scissors
* Hot Glue Gun {or fabric glue}
* Glue Gun Sticks

The Even Simpler Directions:

* You will want your colored plastic egg to match your pom pom. So be sure to get those situated first.
* Once you have all your matching pieces, cut out the white part of the “egg” out of felt.
* Next, hot glue each pom pom where the yolk would be in the raw egg.
* Then place the matching pieces together and show your child how the match the eggs game works.
* Store away your plastic Easter egg matching game in a large plastic Ziplock bag.
