Bunnies hiding in the grass is an easy project. On drawing paper,
have children make a few strokes with a green crayon for grass and
several dots of glue atop which the children then place cotton balls
on. Count together how many bunnies are hiding in each child's picture.
Egg Patterns
Cut out an egg shape from white paper. It needs to be symmetrical..
Fold in half lengthwise (tall and skinny). Have one student decorate
with colorful collage materials or patterns and designs. Then, have
them trade with another student. The second student opens the egg and
continues the started pattern.
