Tot School: Easter

April 18, 2017

Tons of Easter themed activities and ideas. Weekly plan includes books, literacy, math, science, art, sensory bins, and more! Perfect for tot school, preschool, or kindergarten.

I’m so ready for April showers to turn into May flowers, but I do love when Easter falls so late in April. Luckily we had plenty of sunshine, so we spent all weekend outside finding Easter eggs, riding bikes, and enjoying a little taste of summer.

    Here were our plans for Easter Week:

Tons of Easter themed activities and ideas. Weekly plan includes books, fine motor, gross motor, sensory bins, snacks and more! Perfect for tot school, preschool, or kindergarten.

And here are the details of each activity:

5 great books to read aloud for a Easter theme. Perfect for tot school, preschool, or even kindergarten.

  Our favorite books this week were:
Ten Easter Eggs by Vijaya Bodach
Peep and Egg I’m Not Hatching by Laura Gehl
Happy Easter Mouse! By Laura Numeroff
Splat the Cat Where’s the Easter Bunny? By Rob Scotton
If You’re Hoppy by April Pulley Sayre

Cut up paper straws make the perfect beads for threading and fine motor practice. These pastel colors were perfect for our Easter theme. Great for tot school, preschool, or even kindergarten!


Straw Bead Necklaces:

Did you know that paper straws make perfect beads for threading? I found these straws in the Target Dollar Spot, cut them up, and pulled out a few lacing strings for some easy peasy fine motor practice.

These chalk paint easter eggs turned out so cute and incorporated lots of fine motor practice. Great for Easter in tot school, preschool, or even kindergarten!


Chalk and Tape Easter Eggs:

For this project, I taped off an egg outline with washi tape, then Madelynn dipped chalk into a cup of water, and colored each section of the egg. The wet chalk turns into a really pretty pastel watercolor texture. Some of the tape was pretty hard to get off, so I’d definitely recommend trying to limit the amount of water before it gets too messy.

This pom pom egg painting activity was such a fun way to get our fine motor practice in with an Easter theme. Great for tot school, preschool, or even kindergarten!


Pom Pom Egg Painting:

For this open ended project I gave Madelynn pom poms clipped with clothespins and an egg outline. Using different tools to paint with always adds a little extra interest and spark of creativity.

We had so much fun making these plastic egg and bunny stamps for our Easter theme. Great for tot school, preschool, or even kindergarten!

Plastic Egg and Bunny Stamping:

I saved the paint from our pom pom paintings and pulled it back out to reuse for some stamping fun. We use cookie cutters as stamps quite a bit, so I thought a plastic egg would be a great tool to try as well. after creating a fun texture on the page Madelynn added some bunny stamps for a festive Easter themed touch.


Easter Egg Color Matching:

These cute little felt eggs were another Target dollar spot find from last year and I thought they’d make a great color matching activity. I gave Madelynn some tiny pom poms in matching colors and she used tweezers to stuff them in the correct colored eggs.

Learning is more fun when it involves movement! Carrot bowling was a fun gross motor activity and we incorporated counting and beginning addition skills too. Great for an Easter theme in tot school, preschool, or even kindergarten


Carrot Bowling:

  How perfect are these little fillable carrots? When I saw that they had flat bottoms I just had to set up this fun bowling game. It was also a great way to practice counting how many carrots knocked down and how many still standing to build very beginning addition/subtraction knowledge.

Learning is more fun when it involves movement! This Easter egg balance activity was an easy and fun gross motor activity for our Easter theme. Great for tot school, preschool, or even kindergarten!


Easter Egg Balance:

For this twist on the classic egg on a spoon relay game, I used washi tape to create different types of lines on the floor. Then Madelynn tried to follow the line and keep the egg from falling.

Learning is more fun when it involves movement! Go on an Easter egg hunt for letters with this fun themed letter hunt. Great for tot school, preschool, or even kindergarten!


Easter Egg Letter Hunt:


Madelynn loves to play hide and seek so scavenger hunts are just the next best thing these days (and perfect for when I’m tired of hiding in the bathtub for the 43rd time in a row). I filled Easter eggs with lowercase letter beads, hid them around the house, and set Madelynn loose with her basket. After she found all of the eggs, she opened them up to find the surprise letters inside. Then, I gave her an uppercase alphabet page to name and match her letters to.

Learning is more fun when it involves movement! Practice hopping from line to line with this bunny hop gross motor activity. Great for Easter in tot school, preschool, or even kindergarten!


Easter Bunny Hop:

I know it is hard to see in the photos because Madelynn chose pastel pink tape, but for this activity I taped horizontal lines at varying distances apart on the floor. Then Madelynn started at one end of the room and tried to hop from one line to the next as I played the bunny hop song. I was exhausted just watching her! And of course we had to pull out the bunny ears, nose and whiskers 😉

Easter Egg Actions:

  We pulled out those Easter eggs one last time for this easter egg action hunt. First I printed number/action cards, folded them and filled each egg. Next, I hid them around the house. Then I gave Madelynn her basket and set her loose. After she found each egg she opened it up and completed the number and action inside.

These yummy snacks are perfect for an Easter theme in tot school, preschool, or kindergarten!

Easter Theme Snacks: 

Chick Crackers: Cut cheese into circles and place on round crackers. Add candy eyes, and a small piece of orange pepper to the face. Cut small slices of carrots and peppers for the feet and hair.

Fruit and Veggie Carrots: Peel and segment a clementine. Cut small piece of cucumber into a crown like shape. Arrange 2 overlapping clementine segments and one cucumber to make each carrot.

Bunny Bait: Pop one bag microwave popcorn (or make it in a pan if you’d like) let the pop corn cool for a minute while you melt about 1/4 cup white candy melt. Pour over popcorn. Add 1 bag Easter M&Ms (I prefer the peanut variety) and mix until evenly coated. Spread out on wax paper. Sprinkle pastel sprinkles on top. Allow candy to harden.  Break apart into smaller pieces then toss in a bowl with

Bunnymallows.   Easter Egg Treats: Make a batch of rice crispy treat following the classic recipe.  Cut into egg shapes with a cookie cutter.  Use sparkle gel to add decorations.

  Bunny Butts: Make your favorite batch of cinnamon rolls (from scratch, or the tube to save time like me!) add the icing, then before it hardens add a little marshmallow tail in the center and these adorable bunny feet decorations.
