All parents know that when you hand something to a baby or toddler, chances are pretty high that they’ll immediately chuck it. It’s not their fault; throwing things is fun and to be fair, it’s a good way for them to get the hang of those important gross motor skills. However, this mom on TikTok heard that if you give a baby an egg, they’ll instinctually be gentle with it. So like any mom of the internet, she decided to give it a try for herself and post the adorable—and unexpected!—results for everyone to see. Take a look.

Turns out most babies will be gentle with a raw egg in their hand. Who knew? As expected, the video caught the attention of more moms who just had to try it out on their own babies, and we’re so glad they did because the videos are almost too adorable to handle. Check out our faves, which are only a handful of the many clips found under the hashtag #babyandegg.
