Montessori-Inspired Easter Activities

By 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! 🙂

    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/.

    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.

        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!

    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

      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! 🙂
