Playdough Jeweled Eggs

playdough jeweled eggs for preschool and kindergarten
I am always looking for extra ways to incorporate fine motor development into our activities and since Easter will be here soon we decorated playdough eggs. Because this activity uses small items remember to use close supervision with children under the age of three and those still in the stages of putting small items in their mouths.

The children rolled out the playdough and then cut egg shapes with a cookie cutter.  I set out bowls of jewels that I had purchased from the craft store and the children were free to decorate the eggs any way they wished.

The children pressed the jewels into the playdough and tried to put as many on each egg that they could.  While they could put any jewels on any way wanted I gave them a challenge of seeing if they could put different jewels on the eggs so that each egg did not have two of the same jewels on it which turned it into a sorting activity as well.

So easy to set up for the young ones but they get so much benefit from this activity with sorting, counting and fine motor. Thank you for a great idea!
