Place small objects inside colorful plastic eggs and give one to each child.  Make a list so you know what object is in each egg.  Sing to the tune of "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?":

What's inside the little yellow egg?

The little yellow egg? The little yellow egg?

What's inside the little yellow egg

That rhymes with scare? (BEAR)

Accept all answers that rhyme, then say "Let's see."  Child opens egg and shows object.  You can turn this into a science lesson by only using animals that hatch from eggs, such as snake, lizard, frog, fish, insects, chicken, duck or goose.  Make it silly by including nonsense rhymes.
