Easter Bunny Themed Learning Activities

Bring a little of the Easter (or spring) fun into the classroom with these Easter bunny learning activities. And be sure to check out these bunny learning activities for more Easter fun, and resources for learning about real rabbits, too.

Rowdy in Room 300 has a cute Easter bunny color by code page for learning sight words. You can also use color by code to practice numeracy with these coloring pages from Frogs and Fairies that include different representations for numbers like dominoes, hands, dots and hash marks.

Frog and Fairies also has some cute bunny counting puzzles, where kids can match the number with the number of bunnies in the house shown on the other side of the puzzle. Or practice different kinds of number matching to build a bunny with this printable activity that’s from the Frogs and Fairies Teachers Pay Teachers page. (I didn’t even realize this one was theirs, too, until I started writing about it!)

There’s also a couple of basic color by number Easter bunny printables from The Best Ideas for Kids.

Make the bunny hop through the numbers with this cute little game from Tot Schooling that you can play lots of different ways (the post with the free download suggests a few). They also have an adorable feed the bunny shape matching game your preschoolers will love.

Three Boys and a Dog also has a set of bunny themed shape activities, with plenty of ideas for how to use them.

Practice symmetry drawing with this cute and easy to complete bunny you’ll find at From ABCs to ACTs.

If you want a little religious content in your Easter bunny learning activities, check out this cute printable activities booklet from The Purposeful Nest. It includes a maze, I-spy and a couple of coloring pages, one of which includes crosses. This would be a cute activity to tuck in an Easter basket or to keep the kids occupied while waiting for Easter dinner.

Learning numbers actually involves a few different skills, from recognizing the shape of the number and knowing the word that goes with it to understanding one to one correspondence for counting and what order the numbers go in.

A lot of this is learned best through play and activities that get kids counting and tracing and otherwise interacting with numbers. These activities can help.

I specifically mentioned tracing above because of these number formation rhymes cards from Teaching Mama, which can be used in lots of ways to practice making the shapes of the numbers, including tracing, lining up items on the number shapes (and counting them!), using playdough to shape the numbers and so on. Each number has a little rhyme to help you remember how to make it, which is cute.

And speaking of playdough, you can find lots of playdough number mats with different themes for kids to use as they learn about numbers. Preschool Play and Learn, for example, has these cute apple themed ones that also teach one to one correspondence as you learn the numbers and count to 10.

Or use these tree-themed ones from Live Over Cs to form the numbers, count out items on a ten frame and place the correct number of items in the tree to match the number (do this with playdough, little buttons or whatever manipulatives you have on hand). Your little builders will also love these Duplo number mats from Life Over Cs, which allow you to shape the number out of blocks and count out the number of blocks that corresponds to each number.

I also love these mats from The Savvy Sparrow that include the number and the word you can trace with playdough or marker, showing how to count the number on your fingers, a tens frame and a number line.

Finger plays and counting songs are lots of fun for little ones, too, and Childhood 101 has a great collection of songs and rhymes having to do with numbers (as well as printable song cards you can use with them.

This cardboard roll number chain form Hands On As We Grow would be a fun addition to singing number songs or to use in other play and counting games. And we all love something easy to make with stuff we already have.

Older kids who already know the order of numbers can also use these connect the dot number printables from Fun Learning for Kids. Or use the shapes for playdough mats or to practice tracing even for kids who don’t know all the numbers in order yet.
