Hippity Hoppity, Easter's on it's way!

     Spring has sprung! The birds are chirping, the flowers are blooming, our cars are covered in pollen, and Easter is almost here. In preparation for the upcoming holiday and to celebrate some well deserved days off of school, our class spent this morning dyeing Easter Eggs and taking pictures with bunny ears on.


   Instead of boiling eggs and dipping them in cups of dye, I found a different, but easier way at Wal-Mart! I found this carton of a dozen, white, cardboard eggs that came with 4 colors of dye and 4 bags for only $1.98. Less messy, eggs that don't break, and quick to dry! It was perfect.


The directions tell you how to mix colors to make turquoise, orange, purple, and red.





     Each student placed an egg (after I wrote their initials on the egg) into a bag. They chose the color they wanted and I put a few drops of the dye into the bag. Then they rolled the egg around inside the bag so that the color spread evenly on the surface. The eggs dried in the same carton they came in (drying only took 5-10 mins.), then they got to add stickers to their eggs.




    After we all finished dyeing and decorating our eggs, each student got a turn wearing the bunny ears and smiling for an adorable Easter picture!






One of our bunnies was resting and another one of our bunnies is home sick today, but it's safe to say that all of the bunnies in Mrs. K's Class are excited for Spring!!
