Simple Easter Preschool Activities

Let's take a look at some simple Free Easter Preschool Activities...

Easter is a joyous time of year, no matter what your religious persuasion may be. Christians celebrate the Resurrection; Judaism has Passover and the non-religious just really love the Spring! Fantastic!

The kids? Heck - they love the little bunnies and chickies and Easter eggs and peeps!

Here are a few great little ideas for Easter preschool activities.

Fingerprinted Easter Eggs -

Fingerprinted Easter Eggs is such a fun twist on the old stand-by!

Hard boil some eggs and dye them with a very light base color to have ready for the kids.

Using tempura paints, have the kids dip their fingers into the different colors to form different designs on the eggs with their finger-painting skills.

Bunny Rabbit Ears -

Bunny Rabbit Ears are always a winner.

Cut strips of construction paper long enough to wrap around the preschooler's heads.

Print out bunny ears and let the kids color them. Tape the ears on the headbands, tape the headbands closed around the kids' heads.

Paper Bag Bunnies -

Paper Bag Bunnies can be made by printing out ears and various shapes for arms, eyes, nose and mouth - cheeks, too, if you want.

Glue everything to the paper bags to create bunnies as the kids imagine them to be.

Easter Hands Wreaths -

Easter Hands Wreaths are so very fun! Use regular printer paper or butcher paper cut into squares.

Trace handprints of the kids or use finger-paint to paint the handprints.

Form a circle with the handprints on the piece of paper to make a wreath. Fun Easter preschool activities!

Easter Crosses -

Easter Crosses are created by cutting different colored tissue paper or construction paper into different shapes and sizes and gluing them onto a cross template. The more variety, the more fun they can be!

Jelly Bean Color Match -

Take an empty egg carton and color the bottom of the holes in different colors. Have the kids grab a bunch of colored jellybeans and drop them into the appropriate holes.

Coloring Pages -

Have the kids color bunnies, chickies, crosses, etc. Click Here for some Easter Coloring Pages.

Plants and Animals -

Plant some Easter Lilies; help caterpillars become butterflies; grow some baby chicks or take care of some live bunnies.

Songs -

Songs like "Here Comes Peter Cottontail", "Easter Bonnet", or some religious based songs for the season can be taught to the children.

Mystery Egg -

Send a letter and a large plastic egg home with the children.

In the letter explain to the parents that you will be playing a game with the children and the eggs.

Have the family put something small into the eggs, write down some clues on what is inside, and the kids guess what's inside each other's eggs the next day in school.

Whatever your reason for enjoying the Easter season, you will be able to create something fun to do as an activity with your preschoolers! Enjoy all the Easter easy preschool activities and craft!
