Easter activites

I love the time before a holiday where you can do activities to get excited about the big day.  Before Easter, we did a few things around the house.  First, we made edible Peep play dough.  I saw the idea on pinterest and thought it would be fun.
 


I did exactly what it said to do but it ended up way too sticky.  It made a giant mess but Ave still had a blast.
 

I'm pretty sure I never saw a picture like this in the directions.


Avery's class had a party on the last Thursday before Easter.
 





 
After their egg hunt, we went back inside and the kids showed us what they had learned about Easter.  Mrs. Berryhill had really tried to explain and discuss Jesus's death and resurrection with the class.  We had been talking about it a lot at home too so I felt like Avery had a really good grasp about what Easter is all about.   I'm so thankful for her teachers this year for lots of reasons including this! 
 

We dyed eggs the day before Easter.  Avery picked out a sparkle kit this year so our eggs had a little glitter flair to them!


Chlo girl was observing it all very closely!

Since she couldn't make any herself, I made Chloe a sparkly C egg. 


 
After our eggs were made, we were ready for the big day to come!
