Learning Outcomes:

Students will learn about eggs and oviparous (egg-laying) animals. Students will have the opportunity to exercise their fine-motor skills by drawing, coloring, and using scissors.

Materials:

Large sheets of construction paper, any color, on which the outline of an egg has been drawn
Scissors
Crayons and markers
Laminator
Hole punch
2 large metal binding rings

Activities:

Teach a unit on eggs, parts of an egg, and egg-laying animals
Have the children draw a picture of their favorite egg-laying animal in their paper egg
Ask the students to cut out their egg.

After class, laminate each egg, punch holes, and assemble a book using metal binding rings. On each facing page, write "What's inside of [student's name]'s egg? Then on each egg, write "A [student's chosen animal] is inside [student's name]'s egg!"

example:

"What's inside of Tyler's egg?"
"A snake is inside of Tyler's egg!"

This student-made, large-format book is nice to display during Open House or Parent/Teacher Conferences. The children are so proud that they made their own book!
