Easter egg whisk

I'm sure you've seen this before if you have looked at a lot of other preschool stuff, but we tried it, and we recommend it. If you put an Easter egg in a whisk, it makes it pretty easy to dip it.

Recycle Old, Dry Markers

In an effort to use our old dry markers we made water colors with them. We put the old markers in disposable cups upside down. Then fill the cups with water, not covering the markers. You will want to combine same colors in the cup. The more markers in the cup the deeper the color. Let the markers sit in water for 3 or more hours. The longer they soak, the deeper the water will be also. After the markers have sat you can use the colored water to paint watercolors. We put the colored water in spray bottles and squeeze bottles to make painting more interesting instead of just using brushes.


Tip: You can do this with the same markers multiple times, each time may need to soak longer, but they will make watercolors multiple times. (I also used old highlighters, didn't notice staining, but I washed clothes and towels right after we were finished.)

Sensory Idea: Shave Cream

I bought my kids each a can of travel size shave cream. We went outside, I said have at it. Have fun! They at first didn't understand why it was fun to play in, but when the gel became foam they started having a blast. Their favorite part might have been squirting it out of the can, but they still had a great time.

Tip: Do this in an easily cleaned area like the bath tub or outside. If you go outside, be sure the rinse the cement off with water. It doesn't stain, but the shave cream will dry on and not come off easily.

Scissor Skills

We wanted to make a birthday card for a friend from church. Without running to the store we decided to see what we could come up with. I too...
