Our Play Incubator

No, this isn’t our play incubator.  This is our real incubator and since we can’t disturb the eggs I decided to create an incubator that the children can play with.

The incubator is a cupcake holder that I found at a dollar store.  The eggs are a bit too big for it but doesn’t effect the play value.

Each egg holds a different creature that comes from eggs.  I took photos of each one and taped them on the table for the children to match.

The children love opening the eggs to discover what is inside.  Is it a leftover sensation from Easter?

Whatever the reason it has given them lots of opportunities to work those muscles in their hands.

Next week they will be surprised to find that inside each of the eggs there will be chicks – toy chicks.
