Easter Eggs

Theme: Easter Eggs

Choosing Time: Egg Memory, Bunny Stamps, Duplo Blocks, & Tinker Toys

Snack: Thank you Mitch for yummy popcorn with marshmallows!

Music & Movement: Peter Rabbit, Funny Bunny, See Me Run, Oh What A Miracle!, & 10

Lesson: What animals hatch from eggs? We each took turns opening a plastic egg to discover an animal who hatches from an egg. One of our favorite discoveries was that a hummingbird's egg is the smallest of all the bird eggs while the ostrich egg is the largest. Eggs are a symbol of Easter because they are a symbol of new life.

Books: The April Rabbits by David Cleveland & What's In That Egg? by Becky Baines

Science: We looked and touched a real bird's nest. We observed what it was made of. We could touch it because it was no longer being used by a bird. If we see a bird's nest with eggs or birds inside we should leave it alone.

Art: Baby Chicks on Sticks--Can be used as a puppet or to stick in your Easter Grass Cups
