eggs, bunnies and more! Day Home

For the last 2 weeks in the day home we have mostly been focusing on eggs and bunnies, and Easter, but also a couple other things that the children were interested in or i just thought would be fun! Here is what we did!

Bunny lunch!
 

The first week we just had eggs and egg scissors in the water table.

This is the material for our easter wreaths, tissue paper, mini styrofoam eggs, and flowers.

The slightly over cooked 'easter' bread.

Of course you cant have a bunny week without making bunny ears!

Blake's ears!

Some Q-Tip painting, great for fine motor skills!

 Another not quite so successful science experiment (did work slightly better then the juice and ice)  Shaving cream, water, food coloring, certain colors are supposed to go through the shaving cream faster then others.  I think the problem was my shaving cream layer was too thick, but it was still entertaining briefly, and then we scooped out the shaving cream for this....
Shaving cream painting! The kids just never get enough of this!!

So the boys lately have been showing interest in cars again, and races, so we propped up a sheet and they had car races down the sheet, this was a hit!

Bunny cards!  Blake and my day home boy decided to make the body of the bunny into 'computers' and use the bunny heads to make cards for their moms.
 Here's Blake and his computer!  Look at all the buttons mom!

Bunnies and Computers.
 We made a box house, cereal box, kleenex box, i thought they would decorate the walls a bit more but they were just ready to play, and play, and play! with the box house!!

 egg nest cookies. I try to do at least one baking project with the kids each week.
So our second week of bunnies and eggs we added easter grass.  There was also a collection of easter baskets in the playroom, we lined up the easter baskets and tried tossing the eggs into the baskets,
we hid the eggs and went on egg hunts,
we lined the eggs up in egg cartons, counted eggs, stacked eggs, and so on!
 So week 2 baking project was cookies, and of course we had to decorate them!
Another art project, easter grass, eggs, flower petals, egg stickers, tissue paper.  The eggs are actually 2 eggs hot glued together with an opening at the top, so the children could use them as envelopes or whatever!
We also had some bunny songs, bunny foo foo, did the bunny hop, and well, it was BEAUTIFUL out so we did a LOT of playing outside and park visits.
