Easter/Spring Activities

Once again, I have taken some time off from blogging.  Even though there hasn't been any posting, we have still been having fun with our learning. 

Here are some of the activities we did surrounding Easter/Resurrection Sunday:

Like last year, we used the Resurrection Eggs to talk about Christ's death and resurrection and the surrounding events.  The kids really enjoy this.  For more details on this, please click here.

We also used sound eggs.  In our basket, we had ten eggs.  I used rice, beads, beans, salt, and another item which is escaping my memory right now in two eggs each, and the children matched the eggs that sounded the same.

We also had a sensory tub, which included yellow and green glass gems, some Easter eggs that were in the shape of animals, green and yellow poms, and a small set of yellow and orange buttons (which I must say are pretty small, so be careful if you have little ones who like to put things in their mouths) I picked up on clearance from Michael's along couple of other miscellaneous items.  I should also mention this tub was sometimes a hassle to clean up afterwards because of the amount of smaller items.
