Easter Egg Pancakes

When there is a special day or a themed activity day in our house , it has become a bit of a custom to have fun themed food of some sort.

So Easter egg pancakes with fruit decorations are what they had for breakfast this morning.

Easter Carrot Bounce

Easter Bunnies love carrots and bounce/hop. So we put a bag of carrots on the trampoline and Dylan bounced them up trying to hop like a bunny.

He counted them and then we played catch over the net. He had to bounce over the carrots and count.

A fun role play activity combined with exercise.

Easter Carrot Scoop

Lots of carrots + Easter + digger fan = Easter Carrot Scoop!

Simple really scoop up the carrots. Zac is only 20 months so counting and stating colour is all we really did. If my other son who is four was playing too we may have  sorted them into size order or made letters / numbers out of them.

Zac enjoyed role play with the diggers.

He also loved the Big World Easter Egg Dig .

We tried throwing and rolling the carrots down the slide but I never took and snap shots of this .

Big World Easter Dig

After the small world sensory play activity a few days ago we found some large fillable eggs to go with the ride on digger to make the Big World Play activity.

After the egg hunt in the garden Zac used the empty eggs to throw and collect . He then decided to get on his digger and try pick up the eggs .  He then included the mud. He would place the mud and eggs in the scooper and then sit on the digger to release them.

Small World Easter Egg dig

My youngest loves vehicles especially diggers. After sorting out the toys I decided to get the diggers box out and gound the box of play oats. A quick sensory  activity  outside whilst the weather was nice. (As not been great)

Easter holidays so why not throw a few eggs into the mix?

Combined numeracy of counting, adding  and subtracting plus sorting by colour into an egg carton. Obviously that needed to sample the eggs.

Make believe map

Whilst watching Jake and the never land pirates, my son decided to get his map and said he can follow where they are going.

So as they visited places he identified them in the map. 

I gave him chocolate coins left over from xmas and he used them as treasure. The he asked for the bag to be open so he can match the coins on the map a the way to the treasure.

So he placed them on and he counted how many he needed on the map and how many was extra for the treasure chest. 

He then role played Captain Hook taking the treasure.

He enjoyed this simple activity that he essentially made up himself.
