In Pre-K we love to do countdowns to special days. It is a good reminder for the kids and teachers. :) It helps with one-to-one correspondence, counting, and number recognition (We always write the number of days left on the board.).
This is one we have for Spring Break. We display it on our dry erase board.
I printed the reproducibles from Twisty Noodle.
I made the basket the size of a paper plate, and I increased the size of the eggs as well (using a copier, and the maximize/minimize feature). I colored them using both markers and colored pencils.
The basket used two paper plates. The basket picture is cut in half so that the handle is on the back plate. The front of the basket is on the front plate. The front plate has been cut in half, glued together for additional strength, turned around so the front faces the front of the others, and then taped to the back so that it forms a pocket. I hope that made sense. I apologize for not taking pictures.
It can now hold the eggs.
For a finishing touch I made grass to "hide" the eggs. It is laminated green construction paper cut in half, and then the tops are cut irregularly to make it look like grass. I kept the length of the cut about the same, but I alternated the angle of the top of the grass to make it remotely more realistic.
There's a chocolate bunny at the end for that very special last day!
