Last week, I shared several Easter crafts to make with preschoolers.
Here are 3 ideas for ways to brighten up your classroom or home and display the
real meaning of Easter (and a nonreligious one too).
Trace children’s hands on white paper, cut out, and curl each
finger around a pencil. Add some greenery and some little yellow paper scraps
in the center, and you’ve made some lilies. The past few years, our entire center
has submitted each child’s handprint to create a collaborative cross in the hallway.
“Hoppy” Easter!
This is just one of those fun photo projects that make parents
and kids laugh. I cut the faces out of photos of each child, then they glued
them to the middle of a paper plate. They then attached crumpled up tissues (or
cotton balls would work too) all the way around the face and colored pink in
the middle of the bunny ears, which I stapled to the top. (I wish I could show
you their adorable smiling faces!)
Watercolor Crosses
Bulletin board idea for Eastertime: give children white
crosses to paint with watercolors. The 4-year-olds are displayed on the board
that says, “God loved us and sent His Son,” and the toddlers (who used homemade
watercolors that didn’t dry as vibrantly) have crosses glued to black paper and
surrounding the board saying, “Yes, Jesus loves me!”
More Easter activities coming soon!
