Shaving Cream Easter Eggs

Dear future kids,

You will never experience dying eggs the old fashioned way because your mom tried this is and it was 39487 times easier. LOL

No, but for real. I have been trying to keep everything 'normal' for my little Kinder babies. One thing I do every year is boil a million eggs (normally last minute and am up until 2AM) and let them dye them at school. It is ridiculous every year, but I love the memories. I saw this online and wanted to try it so I figured why not try it while distant teaching/learning?

Materials: eggs, water, vinegar (I didn't use it though), food coloring, shaving cream

Mess Factor: not much mess (tip: use baking soda to remove food coloring off hands)

Boil eggs. I have read to soak in vinegar for 20 minutes, but I honestly forgot and it still worked.

Put shaving cream in a tray, bowl, cup cake tin, or on a plate like I did. Add some food coloring of choice.

Roll your eggs in it. Set out on a paper towel or plate for 10-20 minutes and then wipe off the shaving cream...and DONE! So simple. The longer you leave it on, the brighter the colors turn out.

Happy crafting!

End of the Year Gifts/Prep

I was so sad to see the end of the year come. I feel like I needed more time with them! I did my normal bag of stuff: memory book, year of crafts, award, and a key chain! These are the bags I use. You can get them on Amazon, but make sure you get the size that is at least 9x12. I've made the mistake of getting the smaller ones before lol. This is the memory book I use. I've changed it over the years, but I just simplified it down. You can edit it in Canva, google slides, or PP! You could also use this, but it's more for one student. I used it as a moving away book, but if you started this early, you could make a book for each student. I did the key chains again. I do not suggest doing a whole class picture because it's so small. The selfie works so much better! Click here for the tag and click here for the key chain photo frames . Every year I hold onto the crafts. I usually just stack them and then we spend some time at the end of the year passing them out. This year...

Lucky Charms Writing

Friday we made these little cereal boxes. I had it up on our front board and they were so shocked at how much it looked like a real cereal box lol. I printed it out in black and white so they could color it how they want. I try to do a mix of craftivities where they use colored cardstock and then some they can be creative and make it however they want! I tried to tell them they didn't have to write a whole sentence because a. the pictures are small / they have big handwriting and b. I thought it would be easier lol, but because they rock - a lot of them were writing full blown sentences. Bless them! lol I had them write in pencil first then they were allowed to go over it in sharpie if they wanted to. In our classroom we have a bin of sharpies I keep behind my desk. I labeled them at the beginning of the year and we are still going strong!!! That was probably one of my top ten ideas ever as a Kindergarten teacher. It helps responsibility because no one wants to lose their ca...

Colored Rice

Alright, I want to see what kinds of sensory bins you can make at home! I picked up some rice and beans (beans were a fail LOL) and made an easy sensory bin. You can use rice, sand, rocks, pasta, all sorts of things. I bought some Easter eggs and rice, but you can definitely get more creative! As you can see I just wrote on some eggs. You could do sight words, upper and lower-case letters, math problems, really anything. If you have younger kids you could write the letters of their name or just their name on all of the eggs. The eggs are perfect because they also act as a scoop. Now onto how to make the rice! Ignore the beans LOL. They never made it. Not to mention, this was the ONLY packet of beans. The rice is just plain white rice (the third bag left) and this was literally the only bottle of vinegar, I guess people really need vinegar in these times of crisis, haha. Then I use Wilton food coloring, it is more staining (comes off skin with baking soda easily), but it is br...
