During circle time, enjoy an imaginary game with your group. (Open thematic letter-Easter) Print the letter you prefer among the three choices. Prepare a colourful Easter envelope.

Ideas for your mailbox:

Sit in a circle with your group. Use the puppets for a game of opposites. Make your puppet say a word (example: hot). The child who knows the opposite of the word, must make his/her puppet respond (example of opposite: cold). If he/she has the correct answer, he/she may choose the next word and so on. Other examples of opposites: soft/rough, winter/summer, small/big, slow/fast, happy/sad, etc.

Attention please!

Clean hands bin

Prepare a special clean hands bin that can be used throughout your Easter theme. The only rule to follow: children’s hands must be clean if they want to play with the contents of the bin. Include the following items in your clean hands bin:

  • Easter characters and figurines.Game This is my spot Easter
  • Easter memory game.
  • Easter picture game.

Special Easter handwashing poster

(Open poster-Handwashing-Easter) Print and display next to the sink where children wash their hands.

 

Here are a few ways to make this routine extra special during your Easter theme:

  • Use a clear soap dispenser filled with clear hand soap. Add pastel-coloured blocks, tiny plastic Easter figurines, mini Easter erasers, etc.
  • Use a clear soap dispenser and color your hand soap. In order to avoid using food coloring (which could stain), use the old felts in your washable Crayola markers. Just remove the felts from the tubes inside the markers and drop them in your soap dispenser for 24 to 48 hours, depending on how intense you want the color to be. Note that even if markers don’t write anymore, there is still plenty of ink inside the tubes, this is an excellent way to put them to good use.
  • Purchase pink and purple sponges and let children use them to scrub their hands.Models-Easter 2020
  • Delimit the waiting area where children must patiently wait for their turn to wash their hands by sticking Easter illustrations on the floor or by displaying Easter-themed hunt and seek activities on the wall.
  • Pick an Easter song and play it while children wash their hands. Every time the song ends, it’s another child’s turn to wash his/her hands.

Cut out the Easter Miniature-bunniesillustrations and hang them from the number eight using different lengths of string. Insert three pieces of string in the holes on the number eight and use them to hang the mobile from the ceiling.

  • Stimulation or discovery bottles also offer many possibilities. Three things to keep in mind: always use plastic bottles, caps must be sealed with hot glue, and bottles must be washed as soon as they have been manipulated by a child to avoid the spread of germs!

Easter cloakroom

(Open poster-Easter cloakroom) Print and display. The time you spend getting your group ready to play outside can be stressful. Here are a few ideas that may make managing these moments easier.

  • When children are getting dressed, the temperature within your daycare or cloakroom can sometimes seem to suddenly go way up. Take advantage of these moments to open windows and let some fresh air in!

  4. Pour the contents of each bowl into a squeezable bottle.
  5. Deposit a variety of cookie cutters on a piece of waxed paper.
  6. Squeeze the bottles to fill the cookie cutter shapes (avoid filling them too much to limit drying time).
  7. Let dry for 24 hours before removing the shapes from the cookie cutters.

  9. Avoid leaving the decorations in the same spot for a very long period of time, the food coloring (especially red) could stain the window. However, if you use poster paint, this will not happen.

Egg exploration!

Gather various types of eggs (real or not) and ask children many different questions to explore eggs with your group. If possible, show them an ostrich egg, a goose egg, a duck egg, etc. These uncommon eggs will make your discussion that much more interesting!

  • Which birds lay eggs?
  • Are there other types of animals that lay eggs?
  • What kind of eggs do we eat?
  • What do we call a hen’s baby?
  • What can we make with eggs?
  • Where can we find eggs?
  • Are eggs always white?
  • How many eggs does a chicken lay each day?
  • Where do chickens live?
  • How can eggs be eaten?Scrapbook-Easter 2021
  • How does the chick grow inside the egg?

Crack an egg and empty its content in a bowl. Look closely at the egg white and the yolk. Show children how fragile the shell is. Let children touch the raw egg in the bowl.

 

Easter stimulation bottles

Fill a variety of clear plastic containers with tiny Easter-related objects, Easter straw, plastic eggs, etc. Add items that will produce sounds when children shake the containers. Fill other containers with very colourful items for a different type of exploration.

 

The henhouse

Fill a bag with wood shavings and add Easter figurines (chicks, bunnies, Easter eggs). Children play in the henhouse.

 

The carrot’s tailScrapbook-Easter 2023

Cut the top off a carrot and deposit it in a saucer. Surround the carrot with pebbles to hold it in place. Make sure there is always a small quantity of water in the saucer. In one week, the green stem will begin to grow again!

 

Floating egg

Use plastic eggs and insert various objects. Place the eggs in a large container filled with water. Notice which eggs float and which eggs sink. You may also try this activity with a hard-boiled egg and an uncooked egg. Variation: Repeat, removing the various objects so children can visualize exactly what caused the eggs to sink or float. Suggestions of material: rubber ducks, paper, corks, feathers, clothespins, ping-pong balls, golf balls, etc.

 

Magical egg

Deposit a raw egg in a drinking glass and completely cover it with white vinegar. Watch the egg closely for a few days. The egg shell will slowly disappear, just like magic. If you wish, you can gently manipulate the egg.

 

Pastel coloursPuppets-Easter farm

Show children how to make pastel colours using poster paint. Let them make their own colour combinations. Encourage them to make hypotheses and then verify them through trial and error. Use the pastel colours they successfully create in your arts & crafts area or for a specific activity.

 

How to make an egg float

Place a raw egg in a container filled with lukewarm water. Add a few tablespoons of salt. Sea salt produces the best results. Like magic, the egg that was at the bottom of the container will float up to the surface. Salt water is denser, it therefore makes the egg float.

 

The rolling egg

You will need a raw egg, a hard-boiled egg (with the shell), and two small plates. To discover which egg is cooked, children must spin the eggs one at a time. The cooked egg spins more easily than the raw egg. When you stop the cooked egg by placing your finger on it, it stops spinning instantly. However, when you raise your finger off the raw egg, it continues to spin.

 

CULINARY ACTIVITIESPuppets-Easter
