Make hot cross buns using a batch of playdough and some foraged twigs!
Strengthen those finger muscles and work on core strength by rolling out the dough. Add a few twigs and make some hot cross buns. You can also use a scent such as cinnamon for an extra sensory element!
We love making them in with mud in the mud kitchen too!

Make some cute Easter Bunny planters. We filled ours with cress and giant sunflower seeds as they are quick growing, so the children don’t need to wait as long to see something happen.
This is part of the Easter tuff tray ideas set. Find it on the website or comment’Easter tuff trays’ if you want the link.

How to create an easy Easter window scene:
•Print the images
•Stick the images to the outside of the window using masking tape
•From indoors, trace the images using chalk pen. If you have double glazing, closing one eye helps!
•Head outdoors again and peel the images away
•Your beautiful window is ready 🐇✨
You can reuse the images for colouring, painting or collaging afterwards too.
Comment ‘Easter images’ if you want the resource link.

Come on an Easter hunt with us…
Heading outdoors for an Easter hunt is not only great fun but full of learning opportunities too. Count the eggs, use positional language, develop gross motor skills, use hand-eye coordination, collaborate with others and enjoy yourselves!
Download the signs from my website. Comment ‘Easter hunt’ if you’d like the link. There’s also an Easter scavenger hunt you can print and hide the images in your outdoor area on the website too.
