Taking An Egg Count

Punxsutawney Phil went on an Easter Egg Hunt, and now he wants to count how many eggs he found. How many eggs did Phil find? When Phil was hunting for eggs, he fell in the pond and all of his eggs became faded. Can you help Phil by coloring his eggs brightly for him?

Some of the eggs have numbers on them. Color all of the even numbers (2, 4, 6, etc.) yellow, and all of the odd numbers (1, 3, 5, etc.) blue. Now color all of the eggs without numbers any color you like!

Groundhog Cut-outs

We made Phil ornaments to hang on the chandelier for Groundhog Day (but they could hang anywhere). They were just construction paper cut-outs hanging from paper clips, but half were groundhog faces (in brown) and the other half were shadows (in black).
