Watering Whole @Home Curriculum Week 1

Here is a really fun and simple Easter craft idea to do this week: decorating your Easter eggs using the melted crayon technique:    The trick is to draw on the eggs whist they are still hot so the wax melts. Boil your eggs and take them out whilst they are still very hot using tongs and place them back into your egg carton. Explain a few times to your child that they should not to touch the eggs with their hands, but just draw on them with their crayons.   Next fill a few cups/bowls with a mixture of food colouring, half a cup of boiling water and 1tsp of vinegar for each colour. Let the eggs sit for about five minutes in the dye on each side. Zakai and Kamali have done these before and absolutely loved it.

Other Activity:

We usually do a little treasure hunt with your children and based on their age/stage, we either do a guided search with hot/cold terms used for when they are close or far from the discovery. For the older ones (especially the Giraffes), we usually create picture clues or even a treasure map for them to follow. This game is such fun and can be tailored to any age and can either involve quite a lot of prep and input from your side (creating clues or a treasure map), or can be done simply and requiring no prep with verbal prompts in the moment
