Snake Number Threading

When  I Can Teach My Child  posted this idea I couldn't wait to make it.  

We had the plastic eggs to use and our current "Letter of the Week" is S.

So, it was a perfect counting activity to create for Junebug.

Supplies you will need:
plastic eggs (the more rounded side) I suggest the ones that already have holes.
sharp scissors
sharpie
ribbon
googly eyes
hot glue gun

 Use the eggs that already have the small holes in them.
It will be a lot easier to cut a big enough hole for the ribbon to slide through. 

After I got the hang of it I cut them pretty quickly.

The first few I cut caused some plastic to go flying, so be careful with the small pieces. 

 I tied the knot four times so it couldn't be pulled through the first egg.  

Leaving about two inches as the "tongue".

 I hot glued the knot to the inside of the egg.

Then I hot glued on the eyes.

 Use the sharpie to write on the numbers. 

Make as many numbered eggs as you would like.

I made 20, since Junebug is working on 11-20.

Once she thread the ribbon through a couple of eggs she really got the hang of it!

Searching for the next number. 

She was so excited when she finished.

It really is a great way to practice counting!
