Other Ideas:

  • You could do an egg drop! Either use plastic eggs, or a real egg (hard boiled or not!), and see if the kids can set up a box where you can drop into the box w/o the egg breaking. Scary and hard but fun!
  • Make a colorful Elmer the Elephant Craft
  • Make a list of letter E words
  • Place an egg in vinegar for a few days and its shell will dissolve!  Good science experiment
