Activity #14: Easter Egg Letter Match

Here are my foam shapes, yet again! They are the perfect supply to always have on hand.

Cutting these eggs in half is a festive and fun way to work on alphabet matching! This is an important skill to work on because knowing both the upper and lower case letters is something your child needs to know before heading into kindergarten.

Cut the eggs in the middle. You can do straight lines, curvy, or zig-zag! Write the upper and lower case letters on each side of the tree. Mix up and set out for your child.

C. Activity

They should put the eggs together, so the upper and lower case letters match-up! The pieces should go together perfectly, so they will know if they are correct or not! They should identify each letter before beginning.

When I do activities like this, I give my 3-year-old one piece then give him three options to choose from. This narrows it down a little more for them and shows me he can identify the letter out of a group.

Activity #15: Easter Painted Rocks

I’ll be honest with you; this was the first time we attempted to paint rocks! It won’t be the last, that’s for sure! It was such a big hit.

Where we live, people hide painted rocks around for others to find them. They leave a message on the back, and you can post where you found it, then you are supposed to hide it again! It’s such a fun activity!

Activity #19: Easter Bingo

Playing fun games during the season is one of my favorite things to do with the kids!

Bingo is a great first game to introduce to kids because they learn how to follow the rules of a game, they learn vocabulary words, and you can even work on beginning sounds for children who are old enough!

Once this happens, they will say BINGO! You can play until the entire card is filled or start back over.

This does take some set-up but believe me; it’s well worth it! Laminate only the sheets that need it (these are the pieces). The other main sheets can go in sheet protectors inside the binder. Cut out the pieces once laminated. If it’s an activity that would need velcro circles, you can add those on there and on the binder so they will stick together.

C. Activity

Your little one can complete the activities over and over again! This is a great way to practice new skills as well as work on recognition!

I just bought this laminator for my house! I love having my own laminator because I can laminate all the activity sheets that I want to do repeatedly. It saves so much on ink and paper.

Activity #21: Easter Sensory Bottles

Sensory bottles are my latest obsession. They turn out so pretty, and they are SUPER simple to do!

Watching the objects move through the bottles is so calming. It’s also really cool to see the differences in how the objects move in each one.

This is a great sensory activity for toddlers and babies because they can’t put anything in their mouths.  You can also glue them shut to make sure the top won’t come off!

Shake and flip around to watch the objects move around! This activity is great to help calm and relax kiddos!

Activity #22: Vegetable Garden Sensory Play

We love the Mr. Mcgregor stories! This sensory activity made me think of how Peter Rabbit was always trying to steal from his garden.

How to do this activity

A. Materials you need

  • Cool Whip (1 container)
  • food coloring
  • Vanilla pudding (1 container)
  • Oreos
  • cups
  • coconut
  • Easter egg candy
  • Peeps

B. Set-up

Make the vanilla pudding in a medium-sized bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes then separate into two bowls.

Add your choice of food coloring in (we picked pink and blue). Lastly, add half the Cool Whip container to each bowl. Mix it together to make the creamy mixture.

Lastly, add 25 Oreos into a plastic bag and break them up into tiny pieces.

C. Activity

Add a layer of Oreo cookie crumbs to the bottom of the cup. Then, layer on one of the pudding colors. Repeat this process again but use the other color of pudding for the second layer.

In a small bowl, add some shredding coconut and a few drops of green food color (for the grass).

Add this on top of the last cookie layer.

Top the treat off with Easter candy eggs and a Peep marshmallow!

This is such a cute and simple Easter treat!
