A series of Easter activities pt 1

I started the first Easter lesson with the story of Adam and Eve, a story that's familiar to Zech. Got him to colour the heart black. Then I wrote the Bible verse on the heart for him. Forgotten to add the word 'For' in front and have since added in but didn't retake the pic below. Recited the verse to him and was pleasantly surprised that he attempted to read the verse a few times on his own. Was very encouraged by his enthusiasm.

The next day, I shared the Easter story using the resurrection eggs (preschool version). Idea from http://www.motherhoodonadime.com/kids/preschool-resurrection-eggs/.

Zech had a mighty good time opening the eggs though he had difficulty closing them.

Made a set of 'Jesus loves me' puzzle found on http://www.christianpreschoolprintables.com/Pages/BiblePuzzles/JesusLovesMe.html.

He seemed to enjoy fixing the puzzle as he wanted to do it again the next lesson.

Craft time! Made a cross using ice-cream sticks. Zech pasted his favourite star stickers on 1 stick and with my help, used do-a-dot markers to decorate the other stick. Thought it looks pretty cool!



Continued with the Easter story using the resurrection eggs on the third day. Introduced a new activity to Zech. Printed the colour matching crosses from confessionsofahomeschooler.com. A good way for him to learn and recognise colours. He loves any kind of matching games, it seems. We've been doing lots of matching these days.

An interesting Easter craft idea from http://www.freefuneaster.com/easter-crafts/he-is-risen-paper-plate-tomb-craft/.

Now it's sitting proudly on top of my new piano. :)

Going to continue with the last lesson on Wed. More on pt 2 then!
