Free Easter Egg Printables and Montessori-Inspired Easter Egg Activities

March 15, 2014 By Deb Chitwood 4 Comments

Fillable Easter eggs are so much fun! Even though plastic Easter eggs are made of plastic, kids love them and they’re an inexpensive material for making all sorts of DIY Easter egg activities

Today, I’m sharing the links to free Easter egg printables for preschoolers through 1st graders along with hands-on activities created with free Easter egg printables.

Matching Easter Egg Numbers with Chick Sets to 10

 

Matching Easter Egg Numbers with Chick Sets to 10

For this activity, I used the free Mini-Center: Match Easter Egg Numbers with Chick Sets to 10 from KidSparkz at Teachers Pay Teachers. I put the cards in a bamboo potato basket and used a large hemmed work rug from Montessori Services for the layout.

If you’d like to add a 3-dimensional item, you could use the cute Easter chicks from stores like Michaels craft store. You can see them in my post last year with Montessori-inspired spring math activities.

Chicken Life Cycle Activity

Life Cycle of a Chicken Layout

This is a fun activity using the Safari Ltd. Life Cycle of a Chicken and the free life cycle of a chicken fact cards and flow chart from Learn Create Love.

Here I used a medium-sized tray  and a large hemmed work rug from Montessori Services for the layout.

Easter Egg Hunt

Easter Egg Hunt Clues

Easter egg hunts are lots of fun before and on Easter. There are many Easter egg hunts you can use as learning activities by having the child read clues. For this Easter egg hunt, I used Easter Egg Hunt Clues from Jelly Bean Jam. I just placed the first clue in a plastic egg inside a basket. I happened to find a cute basket on sale at a stationery store after Easter last year, so I used that to add interest, although you could use any type of basket.

Easter Egg Match: Short a Word Families

Easter Egg Match - Short a Word Families

This activity uses the Easter Egg Match: Short a Word Families from Kinder Puzzles on Teachers Pay Teachers. I set the printable at 50% on my printer so the puzzles would fit in each matching colored egg.

Break-Apart Easter Egg Activity: CVC Words

Break-Apart Easter Egg Activities Basket

This free printable (Break-Apart Easter Egg Center Activities from Frog Spot) has a few different activities. I only used the 3-letter phonetic words for this activity.

Easter Egg Word Families

Easter Egg Word Families Tray

You’ll find variations of this activity in many places around the blogosphere. I like that Easter Egg Word Families from Mrs. I’s Class gives children who are able to write an opportunity to write the words they read on the eggs. (Note: This printable is no longer available, but The Printable Princess has free Easter literacy recording sheets that work well for this.)
