Pull the egg out of the basket and hand it to a child. If you are doing this with a gross motor spin, place the eggs around the room but don’t hide them. Continue until each child has had a turn. Next, pull one egg out and hand it to one child asking them to find it. You are looking for the eggs with the same shapes all over the egg. If you are doing this on the magnet board, tell the children you need help to find the matching egg. Place the other egg of each pair in your basket. Place one the eggs of each pair around the room, or on the magnet board. The Easter Bunny and his other assistants find her, and in the morning the new designs are celebrated. When one of the little bunnies is captivated by the night sky, she doesn’t notice how dark it is and how lost she has gotten. The little bunnies head out with one egg and paints to all different places to find inspiration. He decides to send out his assistants in search of new designs. The Easter Bunny is getting tired and a little bored of his polka dot design for the eggs. The story follows the Easter bunny and his three young assistant bunnies as they prepare for their big day. The Best Easter Eggs Ever! By Jerry Smath is a cute story for circle time. Page Three Easter Egg Patterns The Easter Circle Time Book: Print out at least two sheets of each page of the Easter egg patterns, cut out, laminate, and add magnets if you please.Ĭlick on the image or the title to print the pdfs.

You will need the Easter egg printables (print out as many as you need), a laminator, magnets if you want to do the activity on a magnet board, some scissors, and a basket. The book can be almost any book about Easter Eggs, but my favorite is below. This is a simple and perfect last minute Easter circle time activity for classrooms that celebrate Easter, like my Christian church-run preschool class.

I just got home from a wonderful vacation, and as I was getting back into the preschool teaching zone, I decided I wanted to do a different circle time activity than I had planned.
