Searching for the hidden Easter eggs
Easter egg hunt at Daisykins nursery in Rugby
Practitioners in Baby Plus collected resources to create an Easter egg hunt activity for the childen. The tray was arranged with Easter resources consisting of plastic eggs, coloured shredded paper, small rabbit and chicks aswell as some larger soft rabbits, lambs and chicks.The children each had a basket to collect their eggs in and they couldn't wait to get exploring. The children at first delicately moved the shredded paper around, then once the enjoyment took over the shredded paper covered the rest of the floor.The children spent a considerable of time playing in this activity with their peers. This activity set up by the practitioners enabled children to use their exploratory skills to search for the hidden eggs. It also helped develop their self esteem as they were proud of themselves for finding several eggs.After leaving the activity out all afternoon the children who were involved in other activities soon began searching for any hidden eggs that were left.
