Materials: 
  • Plastic Easter eggs
  • rice
  • dried beans
  • coins
  • beads
  • a small bell
  • electrical tape
Procedure: 
Prepare for lesson by making the egg shakers. Fill the eggs with each of the materials and close them. Seal the eggs with electrical tape to prevent the eggs from being opened and little ones from choking. Present the eggs to the child and allow them to explore the different sounds that they make.

**This lesson can be modified for older children by giving them 2 of each type of egg and asking them to find the match based off the sound. 
Note:  Please provide appropriate supervision to the children in your care when completing all activities. You will need to decide what types of activities are safe for the children in your care.  Appropriate and reasonable caution should be used when providing art and sensory experiences for children.  Infants require special caution, only use non-toxic materials, and do not allow infants to put things in their mouths that are a choking hazard. ​
Assessment: 
  • Observe and record the child’s reaction to the various sounds. Is there one sound that they seem to enjoy the most?

Recognize Discovery and Learning

Recognize Discovery and Learning
Recognize Discovery and Learning
As they explore and try to manipulate things, infants and toddlers constantly make discoveries.  For infants and toddlers, everything is new. They are learning about cause and effect, the use of tools, the permanent nature of objects even when out of sight, and how things fit in space. They also constantly learn new strategies for exploring and acting on things through imitation and experimentation. They learn by touching, mouthing, banging, and squeezing things. By observing infants and toddlers, teachers can see the discovery process at work. 

Teachers who recognize the discovery process are more likely to introduce experiences and materials that allow children to explore their interests further. Effective teachers respect the exploration and experimentation of infants and toddlers as they would respect the work of a scientist. They avoid interrupting the children and give them time to pursue their interests. When a child senses that her teacher appreciates her interest in the world, she continues to develop as a self-confident learner and keeps building her competence.
