An Enchanted Childhood Playschool ~ March 18th - 22nd ~ The Run Away Bunny


This week, leading into Easter week, we chose to read one of our very favorite books:
The Run Away Bunny by Margaret Wise Brown.

We did three activities to go with our book, which we read each day.

The first day, we used various bunny and spring-related cookie cutters as stamps.







The oldest added his own artist flair to this little duckling!

Annother day, after reading and exploring the book's illustrations in detail, the children were asked to paint a scene for the baby bunny and his mama.


 
They then added baby bunny and mommy stickers to their paper!






On Friday, we made cute little baby and mommy bunny puppets from toilet paper rolls!







Next week: Easter!!



Each week I joined several linky parties!  What a fun way to share and learn!

    My son collects toilet paper rolls. Maybe he would enjoy transforming some of them into bunnies. Thanks for linking with Hobbies and Handicrafts.
