coloring sorting with easter eggs and water

Foam cracked eggs

To make cut eggs out of foam and then cut then in half. Can be played with in a bath or on a window, using just a little bit of water they will stick. Other ways to play~ You can put big letters on one side and little letters on the other side and have kids match them. You can also use numbers and dots. Put the numbers on one side and dots on the other and match them.

Jelly bean secented play dough

To make use ur favorite play dough recipie and replace the water with water that has had jelly beans sitting in it.  We made this after we did the jelly bean expermint and used the water from the red jelly beans.  Note~ we also added some red food coloring. The play dough was coming out pink and I just wanted it a little more red.

Jelly bean in water expermint

what you will need~ jelly beans cups or bowls water Let ur kid/kids short out the jelly beans by color and place them in separate cups. Then palce water in the cups. Go back and look every hour or so and see what happens. After about 6 hou rs the jelly beans are white and soft and the water is colored and smells good. Great activity for color sorting and measuring (you can measure the water put into the cups). We used water for a reason (you will see why soon) but try using different stuff. See what happens if you replace the water with soda.

Multicultural Paper Dolls

to make start by fan folding your paper  cut the paper dolls by cutting out the body shape , leaving the arms connected by the fold. then decorate  I love this craft and talking about this with my kids. Hate is something that is teached, no kid starts out life hating people. As my kids made this craft we talked about how people may look different on the outside but we are all human. We all have feelings.We may dress different, we may belive in different things, and we may speak different but none of that makes us any less of a person. Hate is something I will not teach my kids, I will not be my kids first bully and teach them to hate anyone.
