I was intrigued to see how they would decorate these felt Easter eggs. Ioan followed the Easter theme with a bunny and chick. Finn made a Daddy and baby monster.

Method

Ioan was very literal with his Easter chick and bunny.

Finn is obsessed with Daddy, which is reflected in his play. He is always pairing up baby dinosaurs with their Daddy. It was no surprise that he decided to be less literal with his craft and create a Daddy and baby monster.

They then asked to hang them on the tree in the garden so that the Easter bunny would see them when he visited.

DfES Early Learning Goals (2017)

Expressive arts and design

ELG 16 – Exploring and using media and materials:

Children safely use and explore a variety of materials, tools and techniques, experimenting with colour, design, texture, form and function.

ELG 17 – Being imaginative:

Children use what they have learnt about media and materials in original ways, thinking about uses and purposes. They represent their own ideas, thoughts and feelings through design and technology, art, music, dance, role-play and stories.
