Easter Homeschool Activities

Easter is right around the corner (although the weather is not exactly cooperating for that). Here are some of the themed activities we have been doing.
Easter play dough kit. It had cookie cutters, bunnies, Easter scatter and some eggs. I forgot to get a picture, but we also used our design rollers to "decorate" the eggs.
Archer specifically asked for these number matching eggs. They're too easy for him, but he had remember them from last year. He ended up using them to create some egg hunts for me.
Unscrambling his egg sight words.
Working on counting some coins inside eggs.
Easter "Peep" pin punch. I have a big push pin for him and have him do it over a couple of layers of foam. He always does these activities right away when he sees them.
Magnetic pattern blocks, a marker board and some pattern cards.
Making patterns in an egg carton. I gave him some cards with different kinds of patterns written on them (AAB, AB, ABC, etc). He used pom poms to create the patterns.
Syllable counting page. We used little acrylic eggs for him to select the number of syllables.
Easter egg sound matching activity. We used two colors and put different objects inside. He had to match up the pink and blue eggs that sounded the same.

Easter Literacy Activities

For March I made a bunch of St. Patrick's Day activities, which ended up being a fun diversion from our regular "curriculum." I decided to make some similar materials for Easter (and I'm hoping to make some general spring ones as well).
Easter literacy activities
Easter Egg Scramble. I put magnetic letters for each of the sight words into the eggs for him to open up and unscramble. The reference sheet makes it a bit easier.
Ending blends. You could do these with movable letters or with dry erase markers. We're slowly working our way through  All About Spelling Level 1 have done blends recently. Even if we weren't, I figure extra fun practice is always good.
Beginning blends
Easter Literacy
Word family sorting activity. Each egg has a different word on it to match one of the baskets. You could laminate for durability, but we just did it without.
Easter literacy
Easter syllable counting. We like to use these activities with bingo chips and a wand so that he can sweep them all up when he's done.

Easter Cuisenaire Rod Templates

  

Easter themed math templates for using Cuisenaire Rods
I've been trying to incorporate Cuisenaire Rods more lately. Since we're still in the exploration/familiarization stage with the rods (and probably will be for months, since he's so young), template matching activities seem to work well for us. He enjoys them and they let us have conversations about the rods and how they compare to one another. He also enjoyed the element of counting up each color of rod at the end.

Easter Tot School Activities

Here are some of the Easter related tot school activities we have been doing.
I put Easter books on his shelf and hung some of his artwork.
Painting with funky brushes. I then cut out the paper into egg shapes.
Easter playdough. I had some cookie cutters and then used our design rollers (meant for paint) for textures.
Easter roll and graph activity (free here).
Easter tracing page
Easter Tot School Shelves
This week's shelves contained Where's Bear game on the top, as well as some egg decorations with a cheese container. Shelves on the left had some egg matching cards, Lalabloom, egg sound sorting and a roll and cover game. On the right were vocabulary cards, two part puzzles, a letter sound matching activity, pattern block templates, the Daniel Tiger Trolley game and his vehicles.
Lalabloom pieces
Egg sound sorting. I put a bunch of pony beads in half the eggs and taped them closed. Of course, Archer thought throwing the eggs til they cracked and leaked the pony beads was the best part of the activity.
Archer has really been into roll and cover games, so I made him this one. I set it up with some ccolored gems.
Easter Vocabulary Cards. Lately, he's liked matching vocabulary cards in his table top pocket chart.
Puzzles!
Beginning Letter Sounds Activity from Totschooling.net. This was definitely the biggest hit! I didn't get out all the cards at once, but he loved making the letter sounds and finding the right one!
 
Magnetic pattern blocks, a marker board and some pattern cards. He really only had the patience to make the bunny, then he just wanted to make his own patterns. 
We got out the trolley game I made a couple of weeks ago.
