Using sponges shaped as lambs, bunnies, ducks, crosses, eggs etc., children will dip the sponges into paint and press on a piece of paper to create an Easter scene. Before the activity, create a mixture of baby powder and yellow powdered tempera paint and put the mixture into a plastic zip-lock bag. Each child receives one egg cup cut from a cardboard egg carton and two cotton balls. Each child puts the two cotton balls into the mixture and shakes for couple of minutes. Cotton balls are carefully taken out of the bag and the extra powder is carefully tapped off.
Children glue their cotton balls in their egg cups, one on top of the other.
Bunny Headbands Create construction paper headbands by measuring childrens' heads and gluing the construction paper together so the headband fits snugly on the child's head but is loose enough to be taken off easily. Depending on the age of the children, they may be able to help glue the pink ear to the gray ear. Then, either staple or glue the ears to the headband. Children can wear their bunny ears while they sing an Easter Bunny Song from Songs 4 Teachers . Children will paint their clothes pins.
