Eggs-traordinary Easter Countdown
Easter Activities for Little Ones
By Kendeyl Johansen
Bunny Sack Puppet Show
Help ease the waiting time until the Easter Bunny arrives by making our bunny puppets. You can create long-lasting memories by staging a puppet show and taping your family's performance with a video camera, or you can immortalize the performance with pictures.
You'll need:
Paper bag
Colored paper
Buttons
Ribbon
Safety scissors
Glue
Lay the bag flat on the table. When your child inserts her hand into the bag the folded bottom will be the bunny's face (similar to how a sock puppet works).
Help your child glue buttons onto the bag's folded bottom for eyes. Glue a button nose below the eyes. Cut a ribbon into six 2-inch pieces. Have your child count the pieces, then help her glue three of the ribbon pieces on each side of the nose. Cut out a half-circle for the bunny's tongue. Open the bag's flap and glue the tongue to the inside crease. The tongue will show when your child flexes her fingers while using the puppet.
Make up a play with your child and perform it using the puppet. Not feeling creative? Have your child act out how the Easter bunny will enter your house, hop around and leave candy. Videotape the performance or take pictures.
A Delicious Egg-Shaped Dinner
Make our kid-friendly Easter dinner with your child before dying Easter eggs. Your child will love decorating egg-shaped open-faced sandwiches and crackers. Round out the meal with an Easter Bunny favorite: carrot sticks.
