Suggested Family Activity 🥚 Egg Drop Contest

Published by Library Staff on

Got leftover Easter eggs and don’t know what to do with them?  Try having an egg drop contest.  Have each of your family members design and make a protective casing for an egg using recycled materials they find around the house.  You can let everyone have several days to brainstorm and make their coverings or put a time limit on the activity, such as one hour, for everyone to get their entry put together.  After your eggs are all covered, perform an experiment on which types of coverings protect the eggs the best by dropping the eggs from somewhere high.  You can use a ladder, a step stool, or just roll them off a counter.
