We finished up our Human Body studies today, I still have a few more Human Body posts to finish up. Next week we will be starting our Space unit for science, and Serena is very happy!With the fact we were busy finishing our 5 senses projects we did a simple Easter Egg project that uses the sense of touch this week.
Sand Art Easter Eggs
I purchased peel and stick Easter eggs from Oriental Trading Company a few months ago, and that is what we used. You could also cut an egg shape out of thick paper and add double sided tape or even clear glue for the same effect.
Ethan needed some guidance because he though you needed to empty the whole bag of sand onto your egg. Maybe using a little spoon would have been better for him.
We punched a hole in the top of the egg and threaded some ribbon through to hang them with. Ethan even helped string the ribbon through the holes, what great fine motor work!
Here are all the eggs hanging in between our dining room and living room. What a beautiful festive decoration!

This is wonderful … a beautiful activity that works on a number of skills! I featured your post at the Living Montessori Now Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/LivingMontessoriNow. I was going to pin it to the collaborative Easter board, but it was there already! 🙂

Thanks for featuring my post, it is so appreciated!! Have a great week!
[…] into our 5 senses unit last week and be a great way for Gabe to feel included in our lesson. We made these sand art Easter Eggs with the sticky eggs as well. I used these sticky boards and just peeled the paper off and added whatever we wanted on them. […]
