Easter Eggs - Step by Step for Online Classes

I made these Easter eggs with a group of first graders. As most eveybody is now, we are also having our classes online via Zoom. It's somewhat hard to come up with crafts that don't require mom and dad to feel frustrated because they don't have the material, so I was rather pleased when this one worked!
All they had to do was follow the pictures. I first asked them to draw three big ovals with any color of their choosing. They had been studying shapes so this was a perfect activity to revisit the vocabulary.
I then asked them to only draw lines on the eggs, then circles and last triangles.

I asked them to color the eggs and ouline them with a black pen or crayon.

They cut the eggs out, glued them to any thicker paper they could find at home. Cut them out again.

Glued sticks or taped plastic spoons to them, and after they dried, used them to decorate their house.
They were all able to do it without much help from their parents and were happy with the result.

We Wish You a Merry Christmas!!

Last days of class and everything is Christmasy! I used paint and markers to liven up my students' paper portfolio envelopes with a holly ribbon. The kids loved them! They then added their own Christmas theme decorations to their portfolios. We also made holiday bookmarks which were pretty easy to make with leftover craft paper from the year. And look who I got to take a picture with at the mall! 🎄

Easter Part 2

Here's one more craft I did with my 4th-graders. They dipped their fingers in paint to make the little bunnies or eggs. We did the paint one day and the next day after the paint was completely dry, they added the details and wrote "Happy Easter"! We folded half of a craft paper in half so it could stand up on a table. I had told them they could use it to decorate their houses for the holiday. This was fast and easy.

My Best Shot

Back to school for our second semester. Of course, we talked about what the kids did on their vacation. We brainstormed everything people do while on vacation and put all their ideas on the board. Next, I asked them to think of one of their best moments and imagine they had taken a photo of it. Then, we folded half of a white sheet in half, they drew their cameras and on the inside they had to draw their "photo" and write a sentence about it using the past. The sentence had to start with, on my vacation I_____. Last, we added string to their cameras so they could hang it around their neck like a real photographer and each student got to present their work to the class.
