A change in eggs!

Using and combining a common food object and a colour that is known to everyone, the activity was a simple one that the toddlers were able to identify with and at the same time witness the experience of creating something new yet similar. Titled, "Dye Red Eggs!", this activity was to allow children to learn about new things by making use of their sense of sight to observe the process. Of course, they managed to do it on their own too! 

Mdm Wong introducing the materials: 2 original peeled eggs, 2 eggs that have been dyed and a bowl of red dye mixed with warm water. She also demonstrated the process to produce a dyed egg for the children to see.

Audi decided that she would give it a try too! Doing very well indeed :) 

Sze Jie filled with excitement and curiosity as she dips the peeled boiled egg into the bowl of dye! 

Ilfy gets his chance as he makes use of his sense of touch and sight to see the dyed egg. The children are encouraged to talk about what they see throughout the process.

Now, time to eat! Sze Jie and Wen Xuan start to dig in by cutting the egg into small pieces first.

It must taste delicious! All the children are happy because not only do they learn something new, they also get to eat! 

After the fun-filled activity, the children were taught a new rhyme about seeing things with their eyes. It's called "I Spy with My Eyes". It goes like this:

"I spy with my eyes

With my two tiny eyes

I can see something big

I can see something small

With a blink and a wink

And a roll in my eye

With a blink and a wink

I'm the next big king"
