Easter Egg Adventure: A Creative Art Lesson for Preschool

Welcome to the Art Studio!

Objective:
Today, we are going to embark on an exciting adventure as we explore Easter through art! We will create our very own colorful Easter eggs and learn about the special symbols associated with this joyful holiday.

Beginning the Lesson: The Mystery Egg Hunt

Materials Needed:

• Plastic eggs (with treasures inside, like stickers, small toys, or candy)
• Colored paper
• Safety scissors
• Glue sticks
• Crayons, markers, and watercolors
• A large basket

Step 1: The Mystery Egg Hunt (5 minutes)

Start the lesson by introducing the concept of the Easter egg hunt—an exciting tradition where children search for hidden eggs.

1. Gather the Children: Form a circle with the children and let them know that there’s a special basket filled with surprise eggs.

2. The Surprise Reveal:

   • Tell the kids you have hidden plastic eggs around the classroom.
   • For a fun twist, let them know that each egg contains a mini surprise that relates to art. For example, one egg might contain a sticker of a bunny, while another might hold a mini paintbrush!

3. The Hunt Begins:

   • Allow the children a few minutes to find the hidden eggs.
   • Once they find them, gather back in the circle and have everyone share what’s inside their egg.

Step 2: Introducing Our Art Project (5 minutes)

After the egg hunt, transition into the art project by explaining how Easter eggs can be a canvas for creativity.

• Discussion Prompt: "What colors do you see on your eggs? What images can we draw on our own Easter eggs?"

Encourage them to think about designs, colors, and patterns as they prepare for their artistic creation.

Conclusion: Get Ready to Create!

With excitement buzzing, let students know that they will be using the materials to create their very own Easter eggs on paper. They can use crayons, markers, or watercolors to fill in their egg shapes with vibrant designs inspired by their mystery eggs!

Get your children ready to unleash their inner artists as they dive into a world of colors, patterns, and joyful creativity. Happy Easter!
