Five Little Easter Eggs
5 little Easter eggs,
Lovely colors wore;
Mother ate the blue one,
Then there were four.
4 little Easter eggs,
Two and two, you see;
Daddy ate the red one,
Then there were three.
3 little Easter eggs,
Before I knew,
Sister ate the yellow one,
Then there were two.
Two little Easter eggs,
Oh, what fun!
Brother ate the purple one,
Then there was one.
1 little Easter egg,
See me run!!!
I ate the last one,
And then there was none.
Print the poem 5 Little Easter Eggs.

Hiding Bunnies
Bunnies hiding in the grass is an easy project. On drawing paper, have children make a few strokes with a green crayon for grass and several dots of glue atop which the children then place cotton balls on. Count together how many bunnies are hiding in each child's picture.

Sensory Table
Add to the sensory table:

Strips of green construction paper (or add scissors for children to cut up the paper) and plastic eggs.
Plastic chicks and ducks with water.
Dirt with plastic flowers and/or leaves.
For a safe inexpensive Easter grass shred colored construction paper through the office shredder! Much safer if put in mouths.
