HAPPY EASTER!!!! 2014


Chick in an Egg

 
This is one of the crafts we made for Easter! It's really cute and simple! I cut out different colored eggs from construction paper and then cut them in half. Then asked the kids to decorate them using pom-poms, it was fun painting with clothes pins and pom-poms. Then we glued on the chick and attached a split pin to allow the eggs to open and close! :) 
 
 

 

 

 






 

 


Chick Craft with soft pastel
I made this craft with my younger class (3~4yrs). First, I cut out a simple shape for the chick and then used the soft pastel and let the kids smudge the color all over the body. Then added the eyes, mouth, legs and feathers for wings! Very easy and cute!






Egg relay (under the chin)

We got Easter Eggs to paint from the school and before we painted them, we had an egg relay with the kids! They were supposed to bring the eggs from one basket to the other basket without using their hands. They had to keep the egg under their chin! It was a fun activity for the Easter holiday!

 
 





 
Egg Matching Game (upper and lower case)
I cut out different colored eggs and then wrote the upper and lower cases of the alphabets on them. Then cut the eggs in half. The children were asked to match the lower case and the upper case of the alphabets! It doesn't take a long time to prep and it was fun for the kids!
 




 

 

Egg Rolling relay with Fly Swatter
Since it's Easter, we played quite a few games with Easter eggs. Before we painted them, we played a egg rolling game with the fly swatters! The eggs weren't very easy to control with the fly swatters, but that's what made it challenging for the kids! 



Painting Easter Eggs with aluminum foil
  We paint our Easter eggs every year and this year I wanted to do something a little different. We usually just painted the eggs with the paint brushes and we've also dyed them with food coloring, but we painted our Easter eggs with aluminum foil this year! I asked the kids to crumple up the aluminum foil and then put some paint in it and then wrap the eggs around with the aluminum foil. We all loved how they turned out! 





Rabbit headband
  I found this really cute and funny rabbit headband idea online and the kids looked awesome in them!  It's very easy to make and I loved the rabbit teeth on them! :) 






Rabbit hat
  I was brainstorming for ideas to make the rabbit headband, a rabbit hat idea suddenly came up! I used the paper plate as the body, then cut out legs and face for the rabbit and asked the kids to glue on the eyes, nose and a tail for the rabbit. To finish it off, we used the soft pastel for some colors and then attached a string to secure the hat!  They really look like little rabbits sitting on the kids' heads! :) 







Easter Egg Hunt
  After painting the Easter eggs, we had an Easter Egg hunt in our outdoor area for the party! My co-teacher hid the eggs for the kids and they had a great time looking for their Eggs!



Marshmallow Rabbit
  To wrap up our Easter event, we had a cooking class making a rabbit out of marshmallow, candy sticks (ears), chocolate spread for eye, whiskers and mouth!  They looked so cute and the kids loved the snack!
 
 
Happy Easter!
