Eggspressions
A storybook and set of six expressive wooden eggs offer a role-playing activity to help children identify their fellings. Humpty's cousins are invited to a party but they need a plan to get over the castle wall. By sharing their feelings and working together, they find a happy solution. Children read the storybook and role play with the six funny egg-shaped friends. They can help find a way to solve Humpty's cousin's problem and use the unique egg stands to build towers and tell stories. Each egg is 1.75 inches. Ages 2+.
