Easter will be here in a few weeks! It’s a perfect time to prepare some Montessori-inspired spring/Easter activities!
Last year I published a post with lots of Montessori-inspired spring activities (and printables). There were a number of Easter activities included.
I also published Montessori-Inspired Easter Activities. Today, I want to share Montessori-inspired Easter activities published since that post. I’ll be adding to this post through Easter since many of this year’s Easter activities haven’t been published yet.
Most of the activities focus on Easter eggs, bunnies, and chicks and are appropriate if you have a Christian or secular Easter celebration. If you’d like activities for Lent, please see my Montessori-based Lenten activities and my Lent Pinterest board.

Deb recently posted..Montessori Monday – DIY Tactile Boards and Extensions
Thanks Deb! That sensory bin was such a hit with my kids, and it was filled with all of the “junky toys” that the grandparents send up for Easter
We made it into something fun, and the kids loved the bin!
Carisa recently posted..Rainbow Tot Pack
Thanks for your comment, Carisa! I loved your idea to create a sensory bin with those “junky toys.” I think every parent wonders what to do with them, and that’s a great solution!

Deb recently posted..Montessori-Inspired Weather Unit and Weather Blog Hop
Thanks for this!
I thought I would put up an easter printable on the pinterest board, but did not succeed. The board is perhaps not open for everyone?

Thanks, Maria! You just have to give your Pinterest URL to the person who started the board and ask that person for permission to be added. Once you’re added, the board will show up on your Pinterest page, and you can add pins. The Easter board was started by Bernadette from http://www.momto2poshlildivas.com/.

What a great roundup of activities! Thank you for including our sound eggs!
The Iowa Farmer’s Wife recently posted..Muffin Tin Monday: Rainbows
Thanks, and my pleasure! I LOVE sound eggs … they’re so inviting and inexpensive!

Deb recently posted..Montessori-Inspired Weather Unit and Weather Blog Hop
I love the little bunnies in the first picture! That color sort could work well with the book Happy Easter by Kurt Wiese too– except you would need little chicks. I’m actually planning a different sort of matching game with that. I’ll have to link it up to Montessori Monday when I get it done! Thanks for all of the fun Easter ideas.
Jackie recently posted..4 New Books for Every Baby’s Library

Thank you for featuring my post on facebook as well as linking it to your ocean unit! Sorry I didn’t link back to this page,I’ve just recently started blogging, so I’m still trying to find my way around! I’ve linked back the post to Montessori Monday now, have yet to figure out how to add the button : )
My pleasure, Nabiha … wonderful activities! Thanks for linking back. How you’ve linked back is great … and you’re doing an awesome job of blogging already!

Deb recently posted..Go on a Smile Hunt with Your Child
Oh! and I’ve also updated my post with the link where you can download the 3-part seashell cards that I made : ) Thanks,
Nabiha
Nabiha recently posted..Sea Shells
Thanks so much for making your 3-part cards available! I checked the download, and it said you need permission to access the item, though. I haven’t uploaded anything through Google Docs, so I’m not sure what needs to be changed. Wishing you the best in getting Google Docs figured out.
Deb recently posted..Go on a Smile Hunt with Your Child
fixed! This was my first upload so it didn’t occur to me to change the access setting from default private to public, shouldn’t be a problem now, thanks for letting me know!
Nabiha recently posted..Sea Shells
Wonderful … it works perfectly now, Nabiha! I just added the information about your free printable at the Living Montessori Now Facebook page. Thanks so much!

Thanks for linking to our plastic egg post! And, as always – thanks for hosting. I always take away so much from this link up! Happy Spring.
Thanks for your kind comment, Lyndsay … and my pleasure! You have lots of great ideas, and I’m so glad you link up!

Deb recently posted..Go on a Smile Hunt with Your Child
Ooooo! I love the wealth of ideas! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Michelle! I had lots of fun finding them … and I’m planning to add more to my post tomorrow!

What wonderful ideas! I love them all.
Thanks, JDaniel4′s Mom! I’m always amazed at all the creative ideas there are available for each holiday now … so much fun!

Deb recently posted..Go on a Smile Hunt with Your Child
I am impressed as always with the quality and helpfulness of the post. You explain everything so well and show with such great photos. I want to learn to take photos like you! Wonderful, wonderful. Carolyn
Carolyn Wilhelm recently posted..Book 287: Three Cheers for Tacky by Helen Lester
Thanks so much for your kind comment, Carolyn! I’m lucky that I’ve been given permission to use photos from so many great blogs. When I take photos of my own, it seems to take forever to set up my photo shoot … although it’s always fun!

Deb recently posted..Go on a Smile Hunt with Your Child
Thanks for the mention! Lots of useful ideas, as always! BTW, if I didn’t mention it, I’m taking Karen’s Montessori course and getting so much out of it. Thanks so much for recommending it!
Maureen Sklaroff recently posted..I Was Featured!
My pleasure, Maureen … I love your egg-themed sensory tray! And I’m so glad to hear you’re taking Karen’s course. Karen’s awesome … have fun!

Deb recently posted..Go on a Smile Hunt with Your Child
Thanks for the inspiration on the Egg Sound Set. This was so quick and easy to do. And my 4 year old daughter loved the entire process. Here’s what we ended up with: http://familysponge.com/artdiy/re-use-plastic-eggs-musical-sound-shakers/
Thanks so much for your comment, Jadah! I love your daughter’s involvement … and the very sweet video!
