Easter Books and fun

We read " Panda' Easter basket" by Tara Jaye Morrow. R love dthis especially because even he like Panda experience tummy pain after reading lots of candy and "Clifford's First Easter"

We also made easter egg treat from Rice Krispies.We had fun in Easter egg hunting in our community and also at school. I had written several note sinsode R's eggs and the best one which he liked was " Remember that candies and soda are junk food".

R and I also played egg scavenger hunt game at home on Easter and R played very nicely with no tantrums and meltdowns. It was fun.

We also played the Egg sound matching game. I ad filled two eggs with similar things like rice, beans, pasta and coins. R had fun with this.




Continued Spring/Garden theme

Continuing on our garden theme, I made a sensory play garden for R with little potting soil, fake flowers and plants with planters and pots. it was real fun.

We did this Daisy math activity where I wrote a number on the centre of the flower and then asked R to put that many petals on the flower.

Some letter writing practice related to garden and spring.

Parts of a flower craft and learning inspired from Homeschool Creations

R is loving the Up down and around book so much that we read this so many times a week. I got some old vegetable picture cards and then made columns in apaper for Up, Down and Around and then asked R to tell where that vegetable grows and then he wrote it under that column. I was surprised that R had so quickly learned all that.

Flower pattern from flower stickers

Easter craft

We made this super cute and easy Easter egg craft and the inspiration came from none other than Notimeforflashcards.com. It was so easy and fun that R did this independently many times later.


The egg was drawn by R himself and then i helped him put tape on it and then after drying we just peel off the tape.

Letter R activities

We finished the letterr R activities. Since R has already learned the leteers and their sounds, we just brush them and do very few letter realted actvities.


This is our vocabulary cards which R colored them.

Addition cards.

The Golden Egg Book

We read the book "The Golden Egg Book" by Margaret Wise Brown and Leonard Weisgard. It is a very cute story book. After the book we did a craft that went very well with the book. We made a chick peeping out of the egg. The craft has been inspired from NoTimeForFlashcards.
