    Wooden or plastic toy eggs?

    Well, it's Easter soon, and DD has a lovely little kitchen that she plays & plays with - so I thought it would be nice to get her a set of toy eggs for Easter. Here's my dilemma - the only plastic set I have found locally are the ones with the coloured shape-matching centres (which is good) but instead of being egg shaped all round they have a stand on the bottom. Not ideal. I could also get wooden eggs (nice set on ebay with 3 white eggs and 3 brown eggs) but they are 'whole' eggs that can't be "cracked".

    What would you get?

    the ones from modern teaching aids are fully egg shaped and don't have the stand on the bottom- they have the matching shape colored centres.

    I'd keep looking for the ones you want LOL. I like the wooden ones, but they would be so much cooler if they cracked open kwim?

    My DD has a little kitchen with wooden eggs that can be cracked open! I can't remember where we got them from but will ask my Mum as she was there...

    ETA: You pull them apart and it has a felt egg inside (white with yellow centre).

    Any luck with remembering where you found these?

    The only ones I've seen are from the Early Learning Centre/Kids Central stores. They were wooden, came in a carton, but instead of cracking them you can "cut" them like a boiled egg IYKWIM. But I think they came in a set with cheese & other stuff.

    There is a compnay called plan toys who make lovely wooden toys - not sure it they have eggs, but check them out in case. They make fruit and vege like you've described with the velcro that you can cut in half.
