Eggstra Special Day







You guessed it! Lots of fun with plastic Easter eggs. First off though, we had Music Class. The kids always enjoy the Music Lady!

Next, we explored our plastic eggs and how they interacted with water. Beforehand, we put small amounts of food coloring in each child's egg. They were put in groups of two each and shared a bucket of water. They put their eggs in and were instructed to see if the eggs would sink, float, bubble, etc. Soon they discovered the water turning colors! They noticed the holes in the bottom and top and watched how the water poured out of the egg. So much fun!

Next, we went to the art room. This time, the eggs had tempera paint and liquid starch inside. We taped one end up so the holes would not drain the paint mixture. The kids were instructed to keep the eggs closed and use them as paint brushes. They did so and decorated some sweet little construction paper Easter eggs.

Mrs. E. also read a book to the kids. It was all about the Easter bunny. How he walks on two feet vs. four, etc.

Have a super spring break. We will see you in a week!
