Easter Lithographs

Directions.  Trace or draw an Easter shape using crayon onto sandpaper.  Color the shape in.  Place a white piece of paper over the crayon drawing and press a hot iron onto the paper.  Try not to move the iron around, it will cause the crayon to smear.  Remove the iron and you will have your print!

Footprint Bunny

Sock Bunny

 Dirctions:  Use a colorful sock (I just happened to have some pink socks that were missing their partners!)  Fill the sock with dried beans or rice, filling it up just past the heel.  Close the sock with a tightly looped rubber band.  Tie a ribbon around the sock just below the heel, to create the head and neck.  Use scissors to cut the sock's cuff into two ears, rounding the edges tot give the ears the right shape.  Cut a nose and teeth from felt.  Attach the nose and teeth with craft glue.  I used googly eyes for eyes, but you can use felt.  Attach a pom-pom or cotton ball tail with glue.

Learning Activities

Easter Egg Match

Beginning Sounds, matching

I created a document with the letters V, H, F, R, Q, N and L with pictures of a violin, house, fan, robot, basketball, queen, nail and lion. I cut them into oval - egg shapes and cut them in half.  Addie chose a letter and matched it with the object that had the same beginning sound!

Gluing the egg matches to the paper!

Easter Egg Match - Rhyming Words

Rhyming, matching

I did the same thing as above only this time I focused on rhyming.  Addie had to rhyme and match house/mouse, bee/key, nail/pail and pan/fan.

Gluing a rhyming pair to the paper

Easter Egg Dice Game!

Math, counting, one-to-one correspondence, writing numbers

Addie and I played this Easter Egg game together.  We took turns rolling a die and writing the dots on each half of the egg.  Then Addie added/counted the dots and wrote the sum for each Egg! 

Here is the link to this document from The Happy Teacher - I modified the activity for Addie.
