All You Need is Paper (and a little love) ESL/EFL activities

For this Easter activity, my second-graders first spread different colors of paint on craft paper. Next, I handed each student a pre-cut bunny for them to decorate however they wanted. I had first elicited Easter vocabulary from them. They gave me words like, bunny, rabbit, eggs, chocolate, and ears. The paint dried pretty fast and the class was able to take their work home to decorate their Easter.

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.  

Here are two super simple Easter crafts you can do with different ages. In the first craft, I made a bunny shape out of cardboard and glued on a plastic bottle top to use as a grip for a stamp. Just either paint the front of the bunny or dip it into a little paint from a plate and stamp a paper. Let the paint dry, glue the little tail on and have the kids write Happy Easter. And you're done.  In the second craft, I cut a small strip of paper and folded it in the middle so it would stand up. Next, I dipped my finger in a little bit of paint and stamped  the paper four  times. Let the paint dry and draw either bunnies or eggs and write Happy Easter. These are crafts you can do in one class if you don't use too much paint so everything dries fast. And you're done again.  

  We are finally all back in the classroom, still wearing masks and maintaining our distance, but back. It was easier for my third-grade kids to use the "standing paper corner" idea to create a 3D Easter card. They enjoyed themselves and were so happy to take their cards home to decorate their homes. I also made a little paper bunny pocket with some chocolate for each student which they were very excited about. Hope everyone has a Happy Easter!

  Here's my last Easter post, well, for now. I used the same shape I used before here for the standing paper . I cut out this shape and the bunnies from creative paper, used cotton for the tails, added some details with a marker, and it's done. Students can share their cards with the class and take them home to decorate their houses for Easter. Happy Easter everyone!
