Elijah painted a paper egg carton various colors. We left two without colors so that he could put whatever he wanted in those. As we went nature hunting, Elijah found items of each color to put in the appropriate spot of his egg carton. He was overjoyed! He thought this was the best thing ever, and we plan to use the carton again (and again…and again!). We learned that there aren't very many blue things in nature (we didnt' find one), and Elijah said he wished he could grab a bit of sky to put in there. 
After the walk, I let him play at the park for a few…
Check out that missing tooth!
A very cute idea..
To find the egg carton I just tossed out!
I love it! And I know the dc will too!
Thanks for all the great ideas!
I love toothless grins! They are so cute!
I think my girls lost four or five in the past three months!
I love this! We just started using FIAR and we recieved The Salamander Room for free at a co-op event. I have been excited to row it. I love your egg carton idea and your right we could use it all the time! My husband came over to see what I was reading and he said, "Wow, that is so cool, can we do that?" It's a big it at my house.

I LOVE the egg carton hunt. I plan to do this with all my children at one time. We will do it as the nature hunt. Then inside I will let my toddler do an indoor color hunt! (He is learning colors!) Thanks so much!
