E is for Easter and Egg

Easter themed week, just wasn't good enough.  Let's do Easter for 3 weeks!!  We had lots of fun with Eggs and Easter!  However, I didn't do a great job of taking pictures of our learning projects.  I am getting better though! :)  We keep Easter centered around Christ's death and resurrection, but we do like to add in a few eggs and bunnies!

Books: 
Fancy Nancy's Easter
The Parable of the Lily-I get choked up ever time, almost as bad as the Crippled Lamb
Countdown to Easter
Happy Easter Biscuit- Who doesn't love Biscuit?!
The Golden Egg
The Story of Easter- pingry - great kid-friendly version of the first Easter
Egg in the Hole
Where's Baby's Easter Egg

Crafts:

Paper plate bunnies

We also did...

*"stained glass" eggs and crosses- tissue paper and liquid starch

*Sponge painting- egg shaped of course

* sparkling crosses- glittter, sequins and glue

lots of painting, chalking, and coloring too!

Snacks/lunches:   We had egg, bunny and cross shaped sandwiches, toast, and pizza.
Made deviled eggs a couple times- my kids only like the filling- not the white
We must have been on a nutella kick, the next 3 are all with nutella! :)

chocolate bunnies

bunnies in the mud

bunnies in the mud again! :)

lots of sugar cookies and cupcakes to give as Easter treats.

GB learned how to crack an egg!  No shells, most of the time! ;)

Skills:
We did shape match with Easter egg cutouts
practiced making E with chalk and paint
had some interesting conversations about eggs hatching- next year we will be getting an incabaitor and watching them hatch.  (My school kids used to always love that)

Egg letter match- capital letter on one half, lowercase on the other.

Great activity for the kitchen floor as you cook! :)

E is for Egg!

Went on a field trip to see what comes out of eggs!

lots of baby chicks

You can guess what our Bible lesson for these weeks was!  I absoluelty love GB's retelling of the Easter story.  She learned it quickly and was proud to retell it to anyone that would listen.  Such passion and excitement (as with most stories), makes a mama proud! :)
She learned 3 Bible Verses:
Deut. 6:5
Proverbs 30:5
Ps. 139:14

Went on lots of Egg hunts, dyed lots of eggs and even had a bunny picnic party!  Of course all of that can be found on the other blog HERE.
