Easter Egg Counting

 

 We had some felt scraps that were dying to be given a new life, so we got busy! We cut them into egg shapes and used black puff paint to put numbers onto the eggs! Since this is a game for my 3 year old, we just went up to number 10 right now and only use them a little bit at a time, so as not to overwhelm him.

 I start out round one with the eggs in order, but gradually mix them up as the game progresses!

Roman then uses buttons on each egg. 1 button on the number one, 2 buttons on the number 2 and so on and so forth. Sometimes we play a game where I say put a red button on number 3 and he will do that instead. We try to change it up each time we play!! Share your Easter themed crafts!!

Easter Alphabet Game!

This fun Easter craft was an easy project for my 3 kids and I to do together in 1 afternoon! It's a fun game that can be used multiple ways!

You will need:

~Scissors

~Alphabet Stickers (or really neat handwriting!)

~Card Stock

First, I printed out eggs on card stock (3 different sheets) and handed the scissors to my 6 and 5 year olds so they could get to work cutting them out (great practice for cutting on the lines).

As they were being cut out, my 3 year old and I stuck the letter stickers on them in a pattern. First I had him create the pattern using the 3 different papers and then we played eye-spy in order to find the letters we needed (I spy a P) and stuck them on! All Done!!

Games We Can Play:

1. Pattern Practice! We can organize the eggs by patterns, ignoring the letters on them.

2. Alphabet order! We can put them in alphabetical order.

3. Word Play! We can spell easy sight words

4. Clothespin Match Up! We made these eggs with lower case letters, so that they could be matched up to our upper case letter clothespin game!
