Egg Roll Painting
This is like "marble painting" but on a much bigger scale.
First we coated the large plastic eggs in paint.
I want to say I put marbles inside the eggs to make them heavier and easily to roll.
Then we dropped them in the "sensory table insert" and rolled them across the paper.
The children especially loved the teamwork aspect of this and the large scale.
Finally, we stepped bike and admired out work. Or started painting each other...I don't remember!
Easter Egg Discovery Box
for fine motor, sensory and language
This was very simple.
I just supplied the children with different size eggs, pom poms and recycled egg cartons.
We opened and closed the eggs, filled and emptied them of pom poms and put them in the eggs cartons, counted and matched letters on the eggs, etc.
Magic Egg Experiment
i.e. Two-year-old-BUST
I got really excited when I saw this experiment on Pinterest last year about soaking an egg in Vinegar. The shell dissolves and the egg turns rubbery.
This is what the egg looked like after soaking in vinegar overnight.
This is what the egg looked like after letting the children touch it.
Don't worry. A prepared teacher always has a back-up.
Oh.
My initial response was Really?! But then I had to "really" myself because how did I not see that coming. So we had a fun sensory activity with egg yolks. oy!
Cracked-egg Painting
This is another activity I saw on Pinterest where you fill eggs with water-down paint.
I think I made the paint too runny but it definitely didn't stop them.
Then I let them refill the eggs with the watery paint.
I'm also not sure any of the paintings were salvageable. Good thing that's not the most important part.
