Easter fun for youngsters at Kidderminster nursery
Youngsters at a nursery in Kidderminster have been looking at the life cycle of a chicken as part of their Easter activities.
Easter brings thoughts of chocolates and bunnies but children at Little Trinity Nursery have been considering which came first, the chicken or the egg?
The activities give the children a focus and understanding of the world around them.
Nursery manager Gaynor Carter said: “The children have had such a wonderful time talking about chickens and sorting and matching different sized eggs and decorating them with different patterns, they simply had lots and lots of fun.
“Using tweezers, they hunted for hidden eggs in the tuff tray using their fine motor skills.
"They thoroughly enjoyed their Easter egg hunt and searching the nursery to find hidden treats to enjoy.”
From crafting delicious chocolate Easter nests and using their blossoming creative skills to make colourful Easter cards for family and friends, they also decorated Easter baskets to take home their wonderful chocolate creations.
The children also enjoyed Easter stories and a letter-sound egg hunt to encourage their communication, language, and literacy skills, shouting out each of the letter sounds as they found them.
Gaynor added: “With spring in the air the children had fun on a spring walk and used their senses to explore the outside, and throughout the week participated and enjoyed in the many games and activities, particularly those chocolate related."
