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.

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.

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