Directions:
1. Have children create some green eggs by coloring green circles onto the paper. They can use their fingers to do this.
2. Next, have them cut out the green circles.
3. Twist a yellow pipe cleaner into a circle. This will act as the yolk. Have them glue the yolk into the center of the egg.
4. Once the paint and glue are dry, lay all of the eggs flat on the table.
5. To play the game, children will have to try flipping the eggs and catching them on the spatula in the air. It is not as easy as it may seem! Children can also have relay races and take turns racing with the egg on the spatula. Either way you decide to play, this is a fun hands on game that combines a little crafting with a little game of skill.
