Easter Egg Color Match

Egg Color Match Preschool Fine Motor Activity
I set up a plastic Easter egg color match for the children to work on their math and fine motor skills.  I put twelve plastic eggs (the bottom halves) in a muffin tin and put matching colored buttons in a bowl.

I also set out jumbo tweezers as an option for the children to use.  In this activity children put the buttons in the same colored plastic eggs that were in the muffin tin.

Once the children were done putting the buttons in the eggs they did a visual estimate of which one had the most and which one had the least.  They then counted how many buttons were in each egg.  If you do not have or do not want to use buttons you can also use pom poms for this activity.

Egg Suncatch Art Project For Preschool and Kindergarten
These egg suncatchers look so cute in our windows!!  They are really easy to  make and great for fine motor development.  The children cut colored cardstock paper into egg shapes and then cut the center out of the egg leaving about a 3/4 inch border. We set the eggs on open laminating pouches.

The children then cut various colors of tissue paper into small squares and placed them inside the eggs.  The next step was to sprinkle glitter over the tissue paper and and laminate. The children cut the eggs out and we hung them up on the windows.

Bunny Color Match Toddler and Preschool Learning Activity
I made a bunny color matching activity to work on fine motor skills and color recognition.  I printed the bunny patterns on cardstock paper ... cut them out and laminated them.

I set the bunnies out in one of our center stations along with matching color pom poms.  I put magnets on the bottom of the pom poms to add more weight to them.  The children put the pom poms on the bunnies with the same color.

For a math extension I made sure that I had a different number of pom poms for each of the six colors.  When the children were done putting them on the bunnies they counted how many were on each bunny and which colors had the least and most pom poms.

Paper Plate Rainbow

Paper Plate Rainbow Art Project For Preschool and Kindergarten
We made paper plate rainbows for the final project of our rainbow theme. We started by cutting the paper plate into a cloud shape.  We applied glue drops on to the paper plate and pressed cotton balls onto the glue.

We then cut construction paper in to 1 inch wide strips and glued them on to the bottom back of the paper plate.  Children used the color sequence guide from when we made our rainbow chains.  The next step was to punch a hole at the top of the paper plate and attach a pipe cleaner and twisted the ends closed.

To add extra sparkle we applied glue drops to the cotton balls and construction paper and then sprinkled our jumbo glitter on the glue.
