Fun Jelly Bean Learning Activities for Kids

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.
