Back to School Countdown Craft

My daughter has already started school but if you’re still looking forward to the end of summer, this cute bus themed countdown to school craft is a fun way to measure the days (you could also use it to count down to other special school-related events, or use a different shape than a school bus to count down to anything).

The bus printable is available from A Little Pinch of Perfect, and you can get all the details about how to put this countdown together on the blog.

This might also be fun to use in a classroom to count down to a field trip or special day (you’d just need to cover up the first day of school words, or trace the bus onto other paper).

Check it out at A Little Pinch of Perfect.

Activities and Ideas for the 100th Day of School

Of course bunnies aren’t just for Easter, but this time of year is a great time to bring in some learning activities with a rabbit theme. Check out these fun bunny learning activities for kids and use them to bring a little springtime fun to the classroom or your learning at home.

These printable bunny shape mats from Fun a Day are great to use with playdough, or you can use little items like erasers or little pompoms to “trace” the shapes. Or check out all the Easter themed playdough mats from Printables Fairy if you want some different options, including decorating Easter eggs and adding ears to the bunny.

Happy Toddler Playtime’s bunny stick wall is a pretty quick and easy project that will keep kids entertained for a long time. This blog also has a great collection of Easter bunny crafts and activities if you’re looking for a project or two to try.

Play with bunnies and learn shapes with these bunny shape stick cards from A Blog from the Pond. Use craft sticks to make bunnies in the shapes shown on the cards. There are 52 cards with all kinds of different shapes, which you can see on the blog and purchase from Teachers Pay Teachers.

This bunny hop game from Teaching Littles is great for gross motor skill development (also known as getting kids up and moving through the day). The bunnies are numbered so it also includes counting. You could add a sequencing element like hop on one, step on two, or hop on one foot or both feet.

The Feed the Bunny ten frame activity from Stay at Home Educator is a fun way to work on counting. These bunnies have dots on the ten frame on their bellies and you match them to the carrot with the same number on it. This is a free printable activity.

And if you want to add a little STEM fun to your Easter bunny play, check out the cute jumping bunny cup experiment from MomBrite. Kids can decorate their cups to look like bunnies, then have a jumping contest!
