If you choose to spend the day at home, no worries! Here are some easy DIY activities that you can do with the family too!
Place a number on every plastic egg you have, and put small candies or chocolates inside that matches the number. (e.g. Put 5 pieces of chocolates inside plastic egg number 5.). To reuse the plastic eggs for another activity, you may place the number using a sticker or tape instead. Simply peel and throw when you’re done! This can be a great activity to practice your child’s counting, and their ability to follow the sequence.
Materials don’t need to be expensive and extravagant for this activity. You would only need a small box where you can paint a picture of a bunny. As an alternative, you may print the bunny’s picture and paste it on the box. Cut open the bunny’s tummy. For the carrots, roll orange papers into small pieces and glue green paper strips on the top.
Have your child look for the carrots around the house and place them in a small basket. Afterwards, let your child “feed the bunny” by transferring the pretend carrots to the bunny’s tummy using kitchen tongs. Set the timer to make this extra exciting! This activity will help develop your child’s fine motor skills.
This is a very simple activity, yet it develops your child’s focus and attention and strengthens their fine motor skills.
Simply line plastic or paper cups upside down on the table, and put a plastic egg on each. Hand a spray bottle with water to your child. The goal of the activity is to drop all the eggs by spraying water on it in the shortest possible time! If you want to make it a bit challenging for your kids, write letters on the egg, and shout out the letter you want them to drop. Let your kids enjoy playing with water while identifying their letters. Another way to let them identify their letters is by saying the phonetic sound of the letters instead of the letter names!
This activity develops your child’s trust, motor skills and senses. Make your own little bunny using a small cardboard. Paint white circles to represent the bunny’s head and body and put on some bunny ears too! Hand your child a separate piece of cardboard for the tail, and ask him or her to pin the tail on the bunny while blindfolded. Explain to them that when one sense is covered (for this game it’s their eyes), other senses are heightened to compensate the covered parts. Now observe how your child will pin the bunny’s tail!
