Egglo Entertainment Review

When I was given the opportunity to review Egglo Entertainment’s glow-in-the-dark Egglo Eggs I thought this might be a good way to combine the fun that the kids have searching for eggs while keeping the focal point on Christ.  (Although our kids have participated in Easter egg hunts, these egg hunts have never been a focal point for Easter.)

The products we received from Egglo Entertainment to review included:

One box of  Egglo Eggs  contains 12 glow-in-the-dark Easter eggs.  They come in four colors: pink, yellow, green and blue.  Six of the eggs have a cross on them while the other six are plain so you can decorate them if you want.

The Egg-cellent Easter Adventure book is a forty page, softcover book that follows siblings, Hardy and Anastasia and their younger cousin, Pascal, along with their dog Zeke, on an exciting adventure. Their adventure begins when they open a chest in the attic which contains a special glowing egg that opens to contain two scrolls.  One scroll has a Bible verse with a lesson that is important for the next stop on the adventure.  The second scroll has a riddle that gives a hint as to where they will go on their next stop.  At each stop along the journey, they find another glowing egg each containing two scrolls, one with a Bible verse and the other with a riddle for them to figure out.

STEM Projects from Everyday Items

One of the things my kids enjoy doing is building things and I like when they build things that use their imagination  (and are easy on the pocket book.)  In our local coop (and in our own homeschool) we have taught various classes that encourage STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education.

One such class offered by our coop utilized the 4-H Junk Drawer Robotics Level 1: Give Robots a Hand curriculum which is available from the National 4-H Mall. The kids built various contraptions including marshmallow catapults.  When they finished their catapults, the kids were able to show them off in a just for fun competition.  It was very rewarding to see their creativity!
