In Victoria, our first term holidays end with Easter this year, giving us two beautiful weeks to prepare for Easter as a family.
Each year, in the lead up to Easter, our Easter books are unpacked and displayed in our seasonal basket. This year, we’ve added some activity sticks- all with ideas relating to Easter. Some ideas are specific while others are more open-ended.
We simply brainstormed some ideas together and I wrote them on icy-pole sticks with a Sharpie. Here is a list of our ideas:
- Read an Easter book from the basket (Take a look at our awesome Easter Book List)
- Decorate eggs
- Hide decorated or plastic eggs
- Make an Easter basket
- Use our Easter-themed cookie cutters with some playdough
- Prepare and practise for our Easter Games
- Plant a seed or a daffodil bulb
- Bake some Easter treats
- Have a Hot Cross Bun tea party
- Read the Easter Story
- Watch an Easter Movie (e.g. Hop)
- Write/Draw with our egg-shaped chalk
- Draw
- Offer help to a family member
- Write on some Easter cards for Nanna and Pa
- Make an Easter puzzle
- Paint
- Make Easter gifts (we made these jars last year)
This is our little Easter book selection. Find the details for these books and many others in our Easter-themed Book List.
The idea is for Cammy to choose a stick from the jar each day (or more than once per day if she complains of ‘boredom’).
And Baby Ike has been developing his fine motor skills by removing and replacing the sticks from the jar.
