Countdown to Easter
My kids have had so much fun with our other holiday advent calendars (Valentines & Christmas), so I decided to make our own Easter Advent calendar! I’ll include the activities we used, but if you have any of your own – leave us a comment, I’d love to hear your ideas!
Here is how to make this fun countdown –
MATERIALS –
- Plastic Easter Eggs
- Egg Carton
- Number Stickers (or use a sharpie)
- Printed activities (download below)
DIRECTIONS –
- Cut your activities into strips and put one inside each egg.
- Stick your number stickers to the top of each egg.
- Place eggs in the carton.
…and that’s it!
