Preschool Easter Activities with Plastic Eggs!

March 14, 2016 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Wow, Easter sure snuck up on me this year! Hard to believe it is just a couple of weeks away.

Last year, we wound up with tons of plastic Easter eggs (they were needed due to a certain little pup, and certain feathery ladies, who adore Easter candy).

After the hunt, I popped them all in a big bag and intended on doing tons of preschool Easter activities with them the following year.

Wondering what to do with all those plastic Easter Eggs? Preschool Easter activities!

Well it is the following year, and I can not find the big bag.

But THIS year I just might put my new big bag full of plastic Easter eggs in a spot I remember, and NEXT year we will be elbow deep in preschool Easter activities!
