Doodles and Jots has its first guest post today!  Please join me in welcoming Crab, Crab, Fish who has a very fun and education game to share.  Check it out…

If you are into building stuff than you will like this activity!

What you’ll need…  a handful of popsicle sticks and string (we used yarn).  Have your mom cut a couple of the popsicle sticks in half and one at the 2/3rds mark with a utility knife.  Cut a few lengths of string (one at 12 inches and two at 6 inches).  And then start building!

Easter Egg Paper Craft for Kids

I have a super duper quickie last minute Easter craft for you today!  Print out the following PDF: easter surprise then cut out the chick and egg shapes.  Trace the shapes on construction paper.  Use a light color for the egg if you plan to decorate it.  Cut out two egg shapes but only add the crack to one.  Cut out the chick shape and give it an eye and orange beak.  Next add a perimeter of glue on the inside to one egg shape.  Then sandwich your chick between the egg shapes.  Make sure to center your chick so it doesn’t get glued too.

Or…

Skip the crack all together and let the chick or chicks peck their own way out!
