“Where are all the Easter eggs? I can’t find them!” “Son, they are everywhere. Look for them.”

Sometimes my kids can’t ‘find’ things that are right in front of their eggs.

Yes, that includes colorful, plastic eggs filled with delicious treats. A great way to practice their focusing and observation skills is by playing fun games like I Spy.

Our Easter I Spy Sensory Bottle is a great way to develop descriptive language skills, math concepts, and fine motor skills. This changeable DIY activity can be easily made and recreated based on what supplies are available.
