Montessori-Inspired Easter Activities

March 19, 2012 By Deb Chitwood 42 Comments

Hands-on Easter activities are lots of fun to prepare … and they can be very inexpensive as well! A few weeks before Easter is a perfect time to prepare some Montessori-inspired spring/Easter activities!

Montessori-Inspired 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 ideas for making a Montessori-inspired Easter egg sound set for preschoolers. Easter Egg Sound Set

Easter Egg Sound SetMost of the activities here 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.

    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!

      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! 🙂

    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?

    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.

      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.
