Easter Activities Part 1

With Easter only a week and a half away, we have started with our Easter themed activities! I have a lot of children under 1 1/2 years so on Monday, I took an old shoe box and cut holes in the top. I then put plastic Easter eggs in for the children to play with. They love to take the eggs out and put them back in! I haven't been able to take pictures of them playing with it yet but will hopefully get some soon!

For Evelyn yesterday, we started our jellybean manipulative series. I drew lines on a piece of paper and we measured the lines with the jellybeans to see how many jellybeans long the lines were. As we placed the jellybeans on, we counted. This activity worked on counting up to 25, one to one correspondence and measurement skills.

The last activity we did yesterday was use plastic eggs as our paint brushes. I put some paint on a paper and gave the kids an egg. They did an awesome job painting without an direction on how to do it!
