Fuzzy Wuzzy Pins
To make these pins, start with a large cotton ball and glue on two wiggle-eyes. (these can be
bought at craft stores for pennies) Basic fuzzy wuzzies can be turned into different creatures by
adding paper ears, yarn, whiskers, and whatever else you would like to add. Use safety pins to
attach the fuzzy-wuzzy to your shirt.

Bunny Print Poem
Put the following poem on the bottom of a piece of white paper: Have student dip their hands
in finger paint and press a hand print on the paper.

"Five little Easter bunnies sitting in a row;
They are made of my very own fingerprints, you know.
Five little Easter bunnies are hopping to say,
Love and kisses from your Teaching is a Work of Heart this happy Easter day."

Balloon Bunny
You take and trace the kids shoes out on card stock blow up a balloon, leaving a small slit in the
center to insert the balloon and add bunny ears to it. Takes about 5min. Let the kids decorate
with stickers, glue and construction paper and markers.

Can Bunny
Materials: Tuna Can , Felt Markers , Glue , Scrap Construction Paper , Cotton Ball
Directions:  Cut a piece of felt to cover the outside of the tuna can, and glue it in place. Use your
imagination, construction paper, scrap felt, markers, and anything else you want to decorate the
can to look like a bunny. Glue on the cotton ball for the bunny's tail. These bunny containers can
then be filled with Easter treats! Perfect for jelly beans.

Bunny Baskets
Use the bottom 1/3 of a 1 pint narrow milk carton. Staple (adult do this) a 1" strip across the top
for a handle. Have cut out ready, 'bunny' shapes - sitting up bunny - ears on top, round head and
fat body, width of milk carton (a bit like the traditional cat drawing) If children are able, get them
to decorate the basket with paper chips (small pieces of paper cut or torn) and draw on bunny's
face. If child is not old enough, adult do bunnies face and glue or paste it on one side of the
basket.
One easy way to decorate (need to supervise though) is to let children paint the basket with glue
and dip it into a container of confetti. Let children glue a cotton ball on opposite side of basket
for bunny's tail. Put cotton balls, paper shavings or grass in the basket as a nest for the eggs.
Ours used to take two hen eggs - one boiled egg decorated by the children and one chocolate
one left by the Easter Bunny while we were outside playing.


Science
Carrot Top Garden
Cut the tops off of three or four carrots. Have your children place them in a shallow dish and
water them daily. The carrot tops should be sitting in 1/4 inch water at all times. Sit back and
watch your carrot tops sprout new beautiful green foliage. Children especially love 'planting'
carrot tops because the greens sprout quickly and they are quite attractive. Introduce and
explore the following topics to expand and inspire new activity ideas.

Words of Wisdom

"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells.
Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living,
it's a way of looking at life through the
wrong end of a telescope and that
enables you to laugh at life's realities."
