My 4-year-old son is hesitant to participate in new activities. Even though he attends Easter egg hunts each year, he doesn’t remember them the next year. I talk to him before we go about what is going to happen, but he usually clings to my leg while his friends run around looking for eggs. This year I showed him the pictures in the i Get…Easter Egg Hunts app. For the first time he actually looked for eggs during the neighborhood egg hunt. He had a great time. I took pictures of him finding eggs and imported them into the app. We’ll be sure to use the app again next year.

Features
While looking for eggs in a classroom or home, use the preposition icons of “next to,” “under” and “on top” to match where the egg is located. For example, if the child finds an egg next to the bookshelf, find the “next to” picture in the app.
