Easter baskets

It's spring break week here, so I have an extra daycare kid (age 5). Today I had the four kids paint or color an Easter basket from a template I printed out from here.

Then, they used their fingers to fill their baskets with dots (eggs), and color in the bows. Some got quite messy, like Sutton's. She said her eggs exploded. :)

Two of the books we read today are 2 of my favorite Easter books. 

You can get both from Amazon. Happy Easter, Mouse! (If You Give...) by Laura Numeroff, and 10 Easter Egg Hunters: A Holiday Counting Book by Janet Schulman. Both are easy to read, and hold the attention of young children.
