Clemencia, I made this batch of eggs from 3-letter, short a words that he's been working on. But I just googled "word families list" and found this list of most common word families:
omg this is brilliant. And since my son (4 yrs old) is doing Readingeggs.com now, and learning short words like this, well, these can be Reading Eggs! He'll love the tie-in.
We are also doing Chinese... and this would totally work for putting together either radicals to form new characters, or two characters to form new words. Thanks for the idea... just in time for when bags of eggs like this are in dollar stores everywhere!

I am buying eggs today! My son will love these, he has been wanting eggs every time we go to the store, and they will be soooo much easier to make than the cardstock ones. You're brilliant!
These are just awesome!!! I shared them on my facebook page earlier this week. I'm thinking they may be one of my features for this week's link party kick off too. You'll have to stop by to see :)
