Children aged 18 months and up can develop a number of new skills — such as counting and matching — while playing with this toy. The eggs break apart into two halves, each of which reveals a colored shape that can be fitted into its coordinating piece and then put back into the carton. The eggs are easy to take apart and snap together to promote independent play without too much adult assistance needed. Physically handling them also promotes hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills.
