Pom-Pom Easter Egg Painting Craft

Anything involving clothespins is a great motor activity for little ones, and that’s only the beginning of the fun with these pom-pom painted Easter eggs from Crafty Morning.

The physical pressing of the pom-poms into the paint and onto the paper is a great activity for little hands, too, and whether you encourage them to paint stripes or repeating patterns or just let them go wild, this is a fun and cute little art project you’ll want to keep for years to come.

In the classroom, each kid can make their own style, or if you try this one at home, have your kids make them as placecards or placemats that each person at the table can take home.

Easter Themed Learning Activities

With summer coming on in the Northern Hemisphere, I feel like we all need some fun activities we can do with one kid at home or a bunch in a classroom when it’s too hot to go outside (I guess you can say the same for if it’s too cold to go out in the Southern Hemisphere, too).

This disaster island Lego challenge from Lego Librarian was designed to be done with a Lego club, but you can do it in a classroom if you have bricks handy, or at home with one or two kids.

The idea is that first the kids each design their own island, with a given amount of time where that is the only prompt.

Then each person draws a disaster card. You can use the ones from Lego Librarian or make up your own. These are things like there’s a storm coming so you need to build a strong shelter, or there’s a rescue plane so you need to build something so they will see you.

There’s a whole bunch of ideas, which should get kids thinking creatively about ways to alter their islands for whatever situations you throw at them.

If you’re doing this with just one or two kids, the idea is the same, or you could have them draw several cards over a session if they want to keep the fun going.

This is a great low prep STEM activity for kids that should get them thinking creatively about how to solve problems. It’s a great idea to have the kids explain what they did to solve their particular problem, too, and why they think that will help.

Even though it won’t be a surprise what’s going to happen after the first time you play it, this is one you can do again and again because the kids will probably draw different cards.
