OUR HOMEMADE INEXPENSIVE EASTER ACTIVITIES

Here are a few Easter activities we have been working on:

I purchased the flower pot & butterfly/birds/flower stakes at Target - the plant foam I bought at the Dollar Tree. I like these stakes because they are NOT sharp at the ends. This cost $5.00 to make


                       Baby Cat pushes the Spring stakes thru the foam

 Our Spring sensory bin - using all sorts of Spring / Easter items, I hid them throughout the rice bin and they searched for them.

Egg crated and color match, I made this for my 3 year old, I drew colored crosses on the bottom of the egg carton and than he matches the color and says the color aloud as he matches.



I know I posted this before, but I made my kids  Easter Magnet Pages . My preschooler used circle magnets to fill in the circles and my toddler used her ink dobbers to fill in the circles.



I will be posting our Easter crafts and more activities early next week, come back to check it out!

    Wow! These ideas are fantastic. My little guy isn't quite old enough for all of these, but I'll definitely have to remember these for the future.
