Introduce young students to the concept of Easter through creative art activities that engage their imagination and fine motor skills.
Begin the lesson with a short story about the Easter Bunny, who hops around delivering surprise eggs filled with joy and magic. Gather the children into a circle and use a stuffed bunny or an Easter egg prop.
Story Snippet:
"Once upon a time, the Easter Bunny loved to spread happiness in springtime. With his magical basket, he hopped through the fields, leaving colourful eggs full of surprises for children to find."
After telling the story, ask the children open-ended questions to spark their curiosity and connection to Easter:
Let them share their ideas while their excitement builds!
Transition to the art activity by saying,
"Today, we are going to become Easter artists! We will create our very own Easter eggs and bunnies. Are you ready to hop into happiness and make your art?"
Show them the examples of decorated Easter eggs and cute bunny crafts. Briefly demonstrate a simple technique, such as using a glue stick to add glitter to an egg or attaching cotton balls for bunny tails.
Invite the children to think about what special designs and colours they want for their creations. Remind them that there are no right or wrong ways to decorate, just let their creativity bloom like spring flowers!
After the introduction, set out the materials on tables and let them start their creations with an opening phrase like:
"Let’s get crafting! Remember to let your imagination soar—just like the Easter Bunny!"
This engaging experience will set a joyful tone for the rest of the lesson, allowing the children to explore their creativity while learning about the significance of Easter through art. Let the colours and designs come to life as they celebrate this special time!
