"Shelldon the Cracked Egg’s Big Adventure – A Hilarious Easter Story & Activity Lesson for Kids!"

Lesson Focus:
This Easter-themed lesson helps toddlers and preschoolers develop problem-solving skills, movement coordination, and creativity through a funny read-aloud story, crafts, a game, and a themed snack.

Story: "Shelldon the Cracked Egg’s Big Adventure!"

Shelldon the Egg was sitting snug and cozy in a big, fluffy Easter basket, dreaming of all the fun he would have at the Easter picnic.

But suddenly—BUMP! ROLL! CRACK!

Shelldon wobbled and tumbled right out of the basket! He landed on the grass with a tiny crack on his shell.

“Oh no! I have to get back before I turn into an omelet!” Shelldon squeaked.

He wobbled toward the picnic table but—uh-oh!—he was in for a wild adventure.

First, he rolled through a pile of jellybeans and got stuck in a marshmallow.
Then, he dodged a hungry squirrel who thought he was a snack.
Next, he zigzagged past a marching band of baby chicks.

Shelldon was getting tired and dizzy, but just as he thought he’d never make it…

A little bunny hopped over, picked him up gently, and placed him back in the basket with the other eggs.

Shelldon let out a big sigh of relief. “Whew! That was close. No omelets today!”

The End

Craft: Wobbly Egg Shelldon Puppet

Supplies:

White and colored paper or cardstock
Markers or crayons
Googly eyes
Scissors
Tape or glue
Popsicle stick or straw

Directions:

Cut an egg shape out of white paper to make Shelldon.
Draw a tiny crack on his shell with markers or crayons.
Add googly eyes and a funny mouth.
Glue Shelldon onto a popsicle stick or straw.
Wobble him around as you retell his adventure!

Activity: The Great Egg Hunt Escape

Hide paper eggs or plastic eggs around the room.
Give the kids clues to find them by acting like Shelldon:
- “Wobble like an egg to find the next clue!”
- “Hop like a bunny to the next hiding spot!”
- “Spin in a circle if you see an egg!”
The goal is to help Shelldon "find his way back" just like in the story!

Game: Shelldon’s Wobbly Race

Give each child a plastic Easter egg and a spoon.
Have them wobble and balance the egg while walking across the room.
Add obstacles like:
- Dodging the “hungry squirrel” (toy placed in the way).
- Spinning past the “baby chick parade” (hop in place before moving forward).
- Rolling past the jellybean pile (step over soft pillows).
The first one to make it back to the “Easter basket” without dropping their egg wins!

This game helps toddlers develop motor skills, balance, and coordination.

Snack: Shelldon’s Scrambled Surprise

Ingredients:

Scrambled eggs or scrambled tofu
Cheese shreds
Diced bell peppers or mild salsa
Whole wheat toast or crackers

Instructions:

Let kids help mix the eggs or tofu in a bowl.
Cook the eggs and add colorful toppings like cheese and peppers.
Serve with toast or crackers for a fun, Shelldon-approved snack!

Song: "Shelldon the Wobbly Egg" (Tune: "London Bridge")

Shelldon wobbles here and there,
Here and there,
Here and there,
Shelldon wobbles everywhere,
To get back home!

He rolls past a hungry squirrel,
Hungry squirrel,
Hungry squirrel,
He rolls past a hungry squirrel,
To get back home!

Repeat with different obstacles from the story!

Parent Resource: Teaching Problem-Solving Through Play

Through fun storytelling and movement-based activities, kids learn:
✔ Cause and effect (why Shelldon wobbles and rolls).
✔ Problem-solving (navigating obstacles in the game).
✔ Fine motor skills (balancing eggs and wobbling puppets).

Parents can encourage problem-solving at home by:

Asking kids open-ended questions during playtime.
Letting kids make small decisions (“Which way do you think Shelldon should roll next?”).
Turning everyday moments into mini adventures like Shelldon’s!
