A twist on the moveable alphabet - three variations with Easter Eggs

Variation 1

Using our All About Spelling tiles and our miniature objects for learning to read and write, I chose about eight different cvc words to hide in last year's Easter eggs.

The correct letters are there; they just need to be put in the correct order to make the word.  I thought J-jo would be ready, but he isn't.  I still do this activity with him when he is willing, as I did with Bear when she was that age (scroll down a bit if you visit the link).  I figure he's absorbing some of it and that when he is ready, it will all click.

 

Variation 2:
The letters are in the egg, but the words are more challenging and involve  a double letter phonogram. This was meant for Bear, but it was still too easy.


Variation 3:

Only objects are in the eggs.  Bear gets a slip of paper from the basket and writes the word herself (this is mostly because after filling all the other eggs, I ran out of AAS tiles in spite of owning three sets of them, but Bear wanted more objects for which to write names).
