Easter Picnic – Easy Easter Water Bottles

by

These Easter Bunny water bottles are so easy to make and are adorable for School lunches or an Easter Picnic. Every year we host a Picnic in the park for Easter and we play lot’s of old-fashioned games, like sack races, tossing carrots and lot’s more. It’s a great family outing with an Easter egg hunt and of course, lot’s of Easter themed party food.

Cut a set of bunny ears out for each water bottle. Makes great practice for little hands.

Cut pipe cleaners in half to make a set of whiskers.

Twist two pipe cleaners together in the middle so they look like bunny whiskers.

Glue Pom Pom onto twisted pipe cleaner bunny whiskers.

Glue eyes and nose/whiskers onto the water bottle to make a bunny face.

Tape the bunny ears onto the back of the water bottle.

Trim pipe cleaners with scissors to make even bunny whiskers.

Serve your bunny water to your bunny guest!

Enjoy! Happy Easter.

Reflecting on the Past Year with Kids

I’m in deep denial about the fact that new year is almost upon us again! It’s been the fastest and the longest year at the same time, and I can look back and see some good things as well as some things I wish had gone differently.

Doing a year in review with your kids — whether in the classroom or at home — is a good way to capture some of their memories and the things they really liked about the year gone by.

There are a lot of different printable year in review worksheets you can use if you want to make this super easy. Here are links to a few (often part of larger posts about NYE celebrations with kids that are worth a read, too):

  • Teach Beside Me has lots of fun printables fro the end of the year, including a year in review that covers favorite memory, funniest memory and the best book they read, among other topics.
  • NurtureStore‘s version has space for a self-portrait and prompts like favorite toy, best day out this year and future dream job.
  • Remember favorites, their “best idea” of the year and have room for setting goals for next year with this one from The Keele Deal.
  • The year in review from Yes We Made This has room for drawing or writing and includes things like something they learned, a memory they made and a place they visited.

Of course you could pretty easily make your own year in review for the whole family to do that asks questions based on what you most want to remember. (Favorite video game? Best friend? Favorite family memory?)

And if after the year in review you’re ready to look ahead a bit, Mrs. Merry has new year’s resolution printables to inspired kids to look ahead and set goals for things they want to try. You can totally fill this one out as a grownup, too.
