Directions:
Ask your child and a friend or sibling to join in a "Custard Egg Hunt." The children will be working together to find hidden eggs and fill up each other's baskets.
Make two sets of "eggs" by rolling pairs of socks into a ball. You should have the same number of two colors, for example, 4 green sock eggs and 4 white sock eggs.
Write each child's name on an index card, then tape that card to a basket or box. Show the boxes to the children and let them know that they will have to search for "eggs" and you will place them in the baskets for them. Show your child a sock egg so that they know what to look for. Then each child a color to search for. Tell them that when they find one egg, they should bring it back to you and you will put it in a basket.
The first time a child brings an egg to you, put it into the other child's basket. If they protest, let the child know that in this game, they will be working together to fill up each other's baskets.
When all the eggs are found, let the children count the eggs in their baskets together. Congratulate them for doing a good job.
