The Wobbly Easter Eggs that I made led to so many different and fun activities, including this simple science themed Easter activity.  J absolutely loved this particular activity and spent quite a few hours playing with it. It's a great way to explore physics.

Simple Easter Activity for Kids: Wobbly Easter Egg Races


For this activity, we used:

Make a ramp using some recycled cardboard.  I folded up the sides so that the egg couldn't leave the ramp prematurely.  I then set up two cardboard ramps using a couch in the living room.  I placed the wobbly Easter eggs on the couch.

J then tried to race the eggs on the two different ramps at the same time.  The one ramp wasn't as sturdy, so it kept collapsing.
