Leading up to Easter Sunday, Lily and I did a bunch of fun little activities.
(I don't have my calendar handy, so I'm just going to wing it with how and when we did the activities. We only did 4 days, as we used Friday to color Easter eggs and get ready for the holiday weekend!)
Of course we read a few stories- The Bearenstein Bears Easter Story and a Little Critter one for sure. I also checked out a few more from the library, but I can't remember them at the moment...
Day 1
Art- Paper strip Easter egg
Science/Sensory- Fizzy Easter eggs
Snack- Easter egg lunch (I cut up some ham, fruit, veggies and crackers and put them into Easter eggs)
 |
| Gluing down paper strips. I love her face when she's concentrating. |
 |
| All done gluing! |
 |
| Now it's an Easter egg! |
 |
| She LOVES the fizzing (baking soda, dishsoap & vinegar) projects we do! |
 |
| Fizzing eggs |
 |
| Not sure what she's doing, but this sure is fun! |
Day 2
Art (& sensory/science)- Rock collecting, washing and painting (with q-tips)
Snack (& art)- Jelly Bean Prayer
 |
| We found some oval-shaped eggs to paint, but we had to clean them off first. |
 |
| Painting her rock eggs |
 |
| Easter egg rocks |
 |
| Jelly bean prayer. First she HAD to color the jelly beans the right color. Then we said the prayer, and matched up the right jellybean to that color. Then, she could FINALLY eat them! |
 |
| She did pretty good, but got bored and frustrated around the black jellybean... Can you tell?! |
Day 3- Peeps Day!
Art- Peeps (puffy) painting
Math (?)- Bunny & tail matching
Sensory- Peeps playdough
Snack- Peeps (of course!)
 |
| We painted our very own Peeps bunnies with shaving cream, glue and food coloring. |
 |
| Then we painted our arm. |
 |
| Matching up the bunnies with their missing tails. Poor bunnies! |
 |
| We made Peeps playdough. |
 |
| It was pretty cool, but got rock hard by the end of the day. |
Day 4
Language/sensory- Easter egg name puzzle
Math/art- Carrot counting & gluing
Snack- "Carrots & dirt"
 |
| Easter egg name puzzle |
 |
| Math with carrots. Adding the amount of greens that correspond with the number on each carrot. |
 |
| "Carrots & dirt" snack! |
