Egg Bunnies

Turn an egg into an Easter bunny. The kids will need two ovals for this. The first oval they decorate with crayons and stamps to make it look like an Easter Egg. On the second oval, the kids draw a bunny face (just eyes, nose, and mouth). Cut the first oval down the middle, and use brad to connect to the second oval. When they open the first oval it turns into an Easter Bunny. In the picture below you can also see a baby chick version of this activity. My kids are really into angry birds, so I adapted it to make an Easter angry bird. The boys really love it!

Easter Sensory Table

Plastic eggs, jelly beans, and Easter grass. I wrote numbers on the plastic eggs (the same number on each half of the egg). The students have to find the two egg pieces that match and put that many jelly beans in the egg. Then we extended the activity by playing hide and seek. One child closes his eyes while the other child hides the egg. Then he says, "can you find the number 7?" and the other child has to find it. 

Oreo Bunnies

I'll try to post a picture of this soon. These were SO adorable! I got the idea from this picture, but I adapted it and used white frosting instead of dipping the oreos in chocolate because I wanted the students to be able to do most of the work themselves. I also used chocolate chips for eyes.

Hop Easter Game

This is a fun way for the students to practice letter recognition. Print out an Easter Egg for each student. (I put mine in sheet protectors so that we can re-use them.) Place the chick and bunny cards face down in the middle. Students take turns picking a card and announcing the letter to the other students. Then students find the letter on their Easter Egg and dot it with a bingo marker (or color it with an expo marker if you're using sheet protectors). If a students draws a bunny card, he yells, "HOP!" and all the students stand up and hop around the table one time and return to their seats. Get this for FREE on my Teachers Pay Teachers site here.

Paper Strip Egg

Students glued colorful strips of paper on a white piece of construction paper that I drew on oval on. Then they cut out the oval to make a colorful Easter Egg.

Duck! Rabbit!

Have you heard of the book, Duck! Rabbit! by Amy Krouse Rosenthal? I fell in love with it right away. In the book, two kids are arguing over whether the picture is a duck or a rabbit. My students kept changing their minds as the book went on. When it was over, I gave each student a blank picture and told them to either make it a duck or a rabbit. Then we graphed our results.

Where's the Easter Egg?

Hide the egg under one of the baskets while students have their eyes closed. The students take turns guessing a letter to find the Easter Egg. Available at my TPT store here.

Easter Egg Beginning Sounds

My students LOVED this one! Anytime you get to open Easter Eggs is exciting. I bought some big Easter Eggs so that they were big enough to hide objects in. Then we passed the basket around the circle and each student opened an egg and put the object in the correct basket according to the beginning sound.
