Easter Activities and Freebies

Spring is in the Air

I love this time of year! The weather is warming up and my students are really into a routine. I’m also seeing improvements in understanding and writing abilities.

Easter Activities and Freebies

This is the perfect time of year to incorporate some fun Easter-themed activities. It you aren’t able to celebrate Easter, you can always use the ideas as part of a spring theme. I’ve included alternate printables in my resource for those of you who want to do that!

Easy Easter Egg Dying

Easter Activities and Freebies

Dying Easter eggs can be really messy. This technique works flawlessly!

You will find more details in my resource on TPT but you will basically need a muffin tin and whip cream or shaving cream to begin.

Easy Egg Dying for the Kindergarten Classroom

You can see that this is an older muffin tin. I labeled it using a dry erase marker with student initials so we would know who the eggs belonged to.

Muffin Tin Simple Egg Dying Technique

After a few drops of food coloring and a gentle swirl, you are left with a beautiful marble pattern to drop your eggs into.

After about thirty minutes of sitting on one side, we gently roll the eggs over.

Easter Activities and Freebies

While we wait, we work on sequencing with this Easy Easter Eggs cut and paste sheet. We also incorporate some basic “how to” writing practice.

Aren’t they stunning? The kids are always so proud of them and ready to show them off at home. They like to use the printables to help explain the process to their parents.

Marble No Mess Egg Dying Technique for the Classroom

Remember to save your egg cartons to hold the eggs until you are ready to wrap them up to send home.

Painting beards with a fork? Yes, please!!! 🍀 Painting beards with a fork? Yes, please!!! 🍀
A photo does not do these 🌈 twirlers justice! T A photo does not do these 🌈 twirlers justice! They are perfect paired with some writing prompts on the hallway.

Have you made these with your kids? The pieces for the craft are in my St. Patrick’s Day unit on TPT. 💜
Safe to say we will never be one of those cute per Safe to say we will never be one of those cute perfectly posed insta families! 🤦🏽‍♀️🤪😆We tried the matching outfits and I promise I used to be able to hold them like this! We were cracking up seeing how weak Mommy is now.

Happy Valentine’s Day from these 2 sisters ❤️. They told me they are way too old to be wearing these bubble rompers. I found them @tjmaxx & was trying to explain to Aniston that they were made by a rockstar since they were Jessica Simpson brand.😁

I’m just waiting for the right moment to get Tyler in his suspenders, bow tie, and newborn 👖!😍 Pics to come!
2 years in the making. We had entered every lotto, 2 years in the making. We had entered every lotto, been on waitlists, practiced our fastest fingers at checkout and this @nuggetcomfort finally arrived.

Let me assure you that it was worth every single penny and struggle to get it here! It arrived the day before Tyler was born and it was perfect timing because the girls have played nonstop with it while I’m busy with a newborn.

It’s been a couch, a fort, a slide, a ramp, a house, and a comfy place to curl up with a book. I’ve noticed that our house is not as messy because they get these 4 pieces out and play with it all day instead of dragging lots of toys out.

I’ll add some videos to my stories soon so you can see it in action!
This 🐘 hat & stuffed animal is just too much fo This 🐘 hat & stuffed animal is just too much for my ❤️ to handle.

I forgot how wonderful this newborn stage is. He sleeps constantly so I get to spend most of the day snuggling him. Last week when he turned one week old, I changed him into about 10 different outfits and he just stared back at me and didn’t fuss about it once.

It’s been fun to see the girls react to him. They think he’s a little boring 😆but they love holding him, singing to him, and reading books to him.

I don’t remember my girls sleeping this much. I’m curious. If you have both, did your boys sleep more than your girls? Maybe he’s just saving up for all the wild things boys get into???

Hi! I’m new here. I’ve stolen my mommy’s ❤ Hi! I’m new here. I’ve stolen my mommy’s ❤️ and she mostly spends her days snuggling me and taking a million pictures of me sleeping.☺️
Nursery Transformation! 😍 This is a MAJOR chang Nursery Transformation! 😍 This is a MAJOR change from what was here before! This room was my grandparents’ dining room.

You’ll notice the cabinets in the back where she stored her dishes. She always told me she wishes she had used a room closer to the kitchen so that’s what I did when I moved in. Since then this room became my craft room and a play room for the kids. AKA the messiest room by far in the house.

It had wallpaper, big curtains, and dark brown carpet. (But the most beautiful memories!) When we realized we were having our third, we decided to ditch the craft/play room and make it something beautiful.

My husband white washed the wood for the tongue and groove ceiling and my nephew hung it, built and designed those beautiful barn doors, the closet and added that beautiful shelf on the end of it.

Aniston and Heidi drew welcome home pics for Tyler. They came up with the dinosaur ideas and we framed them.

We painted the firehouse bookshelf to match what we painted the lower cabinets and barn doors. We also painted the countertop white with a special coating from Home Depot which saved us over $1000  instead of replacing it.

My mom made the curtains and the beautiful quilt based on the fabric you voted as your favorite in my stories poll a few months ago. The blue 🐻 and 🌲s were popular.

I think it is the nicest room in the house now 😂 so welcome home baby boy! It sure gives me a nice place to breastfeed in the middle of the night and the storage is wonderful.

What do you think? 💙🧸🌲
He’s here! 😍 I am IN LOVE! Tyler Harris actua He’s here! 😍 I am IN LOVE! Tyler Harris actually arrived at 11:34 this morning and was my easiest labor & delivery BY FAR! We’ve been enjoying lots of skin to skin & snuggles since then.

So many of you prayed for us, sent messages, comments, and more. We are so grateful for your support!❤️
