How big were moa eggs?




Today we explored the size of moa eggs. To do this we looked at a chickens egg, then an ostrich egg and then a balloon blown up roughly to show the size of a moas egg which was about 24cm by 18 cm. The children were fascinated by the eggs wanting to know what was in them and what had happened to the babies, the two real eggs had been blown to prevent possible accidents, but even once this had been explained the children still wanted to know where the babies were.
