Jelly beans are everywhere right now and you can get so many more flavors around Easter than you can at other times of the year. Fortunately, they aren’t too expensive. After you have some fun creating learning activities with Easter eggs, grab a bag of jelly beans.

Have you ever thought about using jelly beans for a learning activity? You can sort them, count them, graph them, perform science experiments on them, and so much more. I found some fun jelly bean learning activities that you can do with your child before all of the jelly beans disappear.

Don’t worry if you don’t have any on hand. You can buy huge bags of jelly beans anytime. You might want to grab some plastic Easter eggs and toothpicks to help your child with some of these activities.

    I like the idea of the taste test and science experiments are always fun. I am not a fan of Jelly Beans anymore, though I liked them when I was a kid, so it is nice to have some other uses for them.

    LOVE these ideas! I’m always on the look out for things I can use in sensory bins and these are perfect. They look colourful and smell great too – even if I’m not a big fan of how they taste lol
