1. Draw matching items on each half of your egg so they line up. You can practice uppercase and lowercase by drawing the letters on each side and matching them. Or, match times and clock faces, numbers and dots, etc.

2. For a more advanced option: early readers can look for compound words by writing each half of the word on each half of the egg; see how many words you can create. Or, get some hands-on experience with word families by writing the endings on one half of the egg (e.g. "op"), and first letter choices on the other (e.g. "h", "p", or "m"). Twist the egg to create all the words in the family.

3. Separate the eggs and let your little ones match away!
