Egg Party 2012 - part 2

 Another Easter Egg Party happened with us at the Tots Playgroup!!! At the beginning children were offered to do different craft activities like: creating your own Easter Bag for presents, 3D egg, Face Painting, Egg Colouring, Colouring Page with Easter bunnies or Eggs, Creating a Book with pages of different colours where each page has its own meaning and story behind (which was very educating and interesting information) and of course EGG HUNTING.

children were creating their own bag where they could put their crafts, chocolate eggs and presents from party!

This table took my attention a looootttt!!!how creative can be our kids!!!!

some of kids did 3D eggs decorating them with glitter, paper stripes, etc.

  There were so many children that nobody could even expect this. All seats around tables with different activities were not enough for those who desired to take part (what actually was very interesting to see).

  There was such interesting thing as FACE PAINTING…what kids liked also very much

Face painting...kids like this new adventure for them!!!easy and simple face painting on Easter thematic made children smile what is the most important for us, mummies

This was our little Easter Bunny, costume surprise)))

  The noise of kids’ voices, singing, screaming  during playing or creating sth was unlimited))) I guess only the snack time reduced it a little bit for a short time and parents could take a breath while our darlings were saving energy and charging it with tasty things, preparing for the main joy of the day - Egg Hunting.

  It was totally funny to watch your baby looking for small colourfull eggs in grass, palm trees, on the road…everywhere around, in one word. I believe parents also enjoyed this activity-)))At the end when our bag was full of Eggs I realized that we found about 20 eggs or so….oh…oh…it was a little bit too much. However for our over-result we got a present from Easter bunny and my baby was very happy about that.

  Later we gathered together in a circle and listened to a story about Easter colours, their significance which was reproduced by Rebekah and I found it very necessary to know for our new generation, as they must know not only about some decorations of Easter but the story behind too. And of course….favourite routine for finishing the Party was singing.

summmm...summmm....summmm

At the age of 16 months my baby likes to look books very much, to look for animals which we ask her for, find them and make sounds. One of such book was about Teddy bear who picks lemons from the tree and there were some bees around.As she paid so much attention to these insects I decided to make some craft work with her on spring topic-bees. This is the result of our work which makes us smile everyday...our own bees can fly in the wind on our terrace)))

you need: egg,cardboard,paint,brush,pin

 By the way, in the near of it there are our Easter decorations, I will make photos later to post them here.

Easter Decor - 3D egg

I am really in a mood this year to celebrate Easter with all prepartion stuff for that. I am from Russia and normally we do not prepare decorations or sth like that. But this time I guess the spirit of European celebration style takes the first place. So, we continue to create sth and this idea  I saw in internet and decided to try it. It looked easy...but preparation takes lots of time, I should say. Anyway, this is the result...

And here is the process..

Cut out the egg, 10 cm high, stripes must be 1cm wide and of different length from 7,5cm to 12 cm.
Then you make like accordion and glue it.

Glue the stripes to each side of egg separately

Of course this variant it is better to do with pre-school age kids and for little ones you can decorate each side of the egg with glitter or such.

First preparation for Easter

A week ago we started our preparation with Karolina for Easter. Here is some craft things which we managed to do.

Easter Decoration

You can do it very easily with your kid, it takes not so long time and from simple things

You need: felt (stripes 15x1 cm, 3 pcs), paper (for eyes,beak,legs,wings), scissors,glue

roll one felt stripe (head)

do the same with the next two stripes, do it one inside of the other one to make diameter bigger

glue 2 parts

add legs,wings,beak and eyes. You can also add thread and hang decorations somewhere

 

 

And then one more decoration...

Easter Rabbit with greeting. This decoration im planning to place in the bowl with palm on the terrace to make spirit of Easter for everyone who passes our house. Happy Easter!!!
