Montessori Practical Life at Home: Food Prep--Peeling an Egg

Food Prep:  Peeling a Hard-Boiled Egg

Easy, Healthy Snack

Egg Slicer Makes it Fun and Pretty

It's easy to cook several eggs in advance and keep them on hand for snacks, salads, or deviled eggs.  In this Practical Life Food Prep work, a child has what he needs to prepare his own simple, healthy snack.  If you compost or use eggshells for an Eggshell Crushing work (to amend soil), show the child where you want the eggshells to go after his snack, as he cleans up.

Crushing Eggshells

Have a mortar & pestle?  We like to save eggshells when we're cooking and baking, let them dry for a day, and then crush them up!  It's a good workout for a toddler to pulverize the shells and add the powder to your favorite potted plant.
