Montessori sound cylinders are wonderful sensorial materials, but can reuse fillable Easter eggs to easily make your own set with items you have at home.
I created Montessori-inspired Easter egg sound set using the principles of the traditional Montessori sound boxes, which have six sound cylinders with red tops and six sound cylinders with blue tops.
DIY Easter Egg Sound Set with Six Pairs
The eggs won’t be as colorful as a multi-colored set of Easter eggs but will isolate the difficulty in the matching of sounds. There should be 6 matching sets with the same type of objects (and same number of objects for the same sound) in each matching pair. The eggs could be opened at the end as a self check.
I also have a post with tips for making Montessori-inspired Easter egg sound shakers for babies and toddlers.

Hi Deb,
I love the egg sound set! I’d like to make them for our atrium. I like your two color set – do you have some control of error built into it or any recommendations for how to add it? Also, would you recommend taping the eggs shut? Is it possible to look inside the Montessori sound set or is it a closed system?
Thanks for all of your great ideas!
Leslie
Thanks for your kind comment, Leslie! That’s a great idea for your atrium! You could have matching dots at the bottom of each pair, although it’s a control of error that there will be eggs that don’t match in sound at the end if they aren’t matched correctly. If you leave the eggs unsealed, the child can check inside the eggs at the end as well.
The Montessori sound set is a closed system, but I like the idea of looking inside the eggs. You can always seal the eggs with tape, velcro, or a hot glue gun if you wish. Have a blessed Lent and Easter season!
I am going to make sound eggs this week.
That sounds great! I think they’re a wonderful variation of Montessori sound cylinders! Have fun! 🙂
You do have great ideas.
Thanks for your kind comment! I love finding so many wonderful ideas online! 🙂
I have to say that there are some really good ideas listed. I especially like the word family eggs.
Thanks for your comment, Becky! Those are a cute idea, aren’t they?!
LOVE the Easter themed ideas! We’re still getting settled into our new home but I’m definitely keeping those in mind for next Easter!
Visiting from HHH! 🙂
You will have an extra busy Easter this year, won’t you?! Enjoy your new home! 🙂

Thanks, Patty! I’m so happy to know about your lovely April activities post! I just added it! Happy Easter to you, too! 🙂
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these ideas!! Our Cubbies program just ended last week…I’m so sad. I could have used so many of your ideas!! Oh well, maybe next year!
I’ve linked lots of posts at the Hop, but today I linked up a Hip Homeschool DAD post!! I linked a wonderful post by my co-blogger, Arby, at The Homeschool Apologist! If you wouldn’t mind, could you stop by and let him know that HIP homeschoolers can be moms or dads!! 🙂 He’s probably gonna be mad I did this to him, so it might not hurt if you mentioned what a GREAT blogging partner he has! 🙂
Thanks, Linda! It’s awesome that you linked up a Hip Homeschool Dad! LOVE to see Dads involved – I’ll definitely have to encourage him! 🙂
So many great ideas!
Thanks! I’m always thrilled to find so many amazing ideas in the blogosphere! 🙂

That’s a very creative game. Even though my kids are older I think they would have fun with it.
Thanks, Julie! That’s true … Montessori-inspired activities often work for many levels! 🙂
I love the idea of doing a sound hunt using Easter eggs. Great idea! Thank you for all the other Easter related links!
Thanks, Rebekah! I think Easter egg sound sets are my favorite sound sets … more fun than the most expensive ones that can be purchased! 🙂
