I got loads of those plastic fillable eggs from Hobbycraft a few weeks back which are great at Easter of course, but I use them all year round for speech sounds work. I love hiding small toys in them. You can also fill them to make shakers and talk about the sounds they make, for example pasta, pom poms, rice, paperclips, anything you can find! Getting the kids to make the shakers up with you creates many opportunities for language!
Happy Easter everyone!
