Easter Eggs

Easter Eggs, baskets, bunnies, and more!

We counted paper eggs after gluing them to our baskets.












 We created a ramp to race our eggs down.

 Running from one end to the other, we raced eggs, cars, and anything else that would fit onto the gutter.
 It was fun to guess which items would go the fastest.

We made bridges with our legs, and worked at taking turns.



 The eggs moved into our kitchen area naturally. We practiced cracking them open.






 Group time gave us new ways to use eggs.


We balanced them on our heads and tried holding them with with our bodies in many different ways.



 Eggs filled with popcorn made great maracas for music time!








Large paper eggs were our canvas for many decorative elements.
More glue!

Making decisions about WHAT to add to our eggs and WHERE to place those pieces helps us develop critical thinking skills.










Water colors brightened our Easter Bunnies before they hopped into our school bags.


We got a jump on our gardening theme coming up in a few weeks.
 Ms. Amy helped us place soil and seeds into a cup. We watered them and placed them in the window.

Now we wait.
