Easter

 Every monthly box from Mother Goose Time includes a celebration pack.  This months pack was for Easter.

For circle time Elli reenacted 5 little bunnies with the finger puppets and we sang an Easter song.

Elli had to see how fast she could run around our table while balancing an egg on a spoon.  

We also played charades.  Here Elli is pretending to be an egg.

Elli made a music shaker out of an egg, rice, and some spoons.  She still has the one she made last year, so now she has two.

And we finished up playing pin the tail on the rabbit, this was Elli's favorite part of the day and she played this quite a few times.

Easter Fun

Every monthly box from Mother Goose Time includes a bonus pack.  This months was for Easter.  There is a complete lesson plan with activities, snack ideas, games, and crafts.  We started by reciting the 5 Little Bunnies.  The girls got to use the finger puppets to act it out.

They had a bunny pancake meal.  The suggested snack was a cute rabbit made out of an egg, but my kids don't really like eggs so we skipped that.

They had so much fun playing pin the tail o the rabbit.  They played it a bunch of times before we moved on.

I hid an egg with the first initial of each girls name.  They had to find their egg and then use them in an egg spoon race.  After they finished the race they took turns hiding the eggs for each other and racing around our table.

We added some rocks to the eggs and the girls turned them into egg shakers.  

They had a lot of fun playing Easter charades.  They pretended to be things like bunnies, chicks, flowers, etc.

Easter Fun

Today we celebrated Easter.  We started off reading The Egg Tree.  After that Addie painted a hollowed out egg just like they did in the book.  We're planning on making more so we can make our own egg tree. They are easy to make.  You just take an egg, poke a hole in both ends to blow out the middle and then paint and add a string.  Then use them to decorate a tree branch.

Next we headed outside for an egg hunt.  I can't wait until the snow melts and it starts to feel like spring. 

When we came in the girls searched in Easter grass for eggs and treats.

When they were done with that they painted over a cross I taped on paper.  Once it dried I removed the tape to leave behind the cross.  The girls love to paint so they had fun with this.













Mother Goose Time provided a cute rabbit hand print craft.  Addie messed hers up, and was quite upset I didn't have another piece of decorated paper for her to make another one on. 

We ended the day with chick pudding cups, which the girls loved.
