Easter Puppets

With only a week until Easter I have decided to spend my time developing Easter related learning materials. Today I started with Easter Puppets. My husband was at the hardware store today and so I asked him to pick up a few paint swatches in Easter colours.

Materials:
Bunny Template
Paint swatches with three colours per sheet
Googly Eyes
Black Marker
Glue Stick or Glue Gun
Scissors
6 Popsicle Sticks

Using a simple rabbit template, I traced and cut out different coloured bunnies from the multi-colour swatches. I glued on some eyes and a popsicle stick on the back. I also used a black marker to draw a nose and mouth. My little C now has great Easter puppets to play with throughout the week and use to practice learning his colours.

I had a few swatches with six colours each instead of the larger three, so I decided to make mini versions of the larger rabbit to use for a simple colour sorting activity and to use when little C makes Easter cards for our family members. Easter fun has begun:)
