Easter at Kindy




The kindy Easter parade and morning tea for parents was on last Thursday, so we all went along. Some pics of the 'big' event for you to check out. No - Ellen hasn't lost any teeth - that's the result of her having her first exposure to chocolate for the year!

Olivia was given her small Easter egg from Kindy, and as soon as she saw the 'bunny' she just about burst out of her skin with excitement, and tried to give it to him - that's how it works doesn't it?? She couldn't figure out why he didn't want to receive her egg, and ended up just leaving it on a plate somewhere - of course if it had been a piece of pumpkin he wouldn't have even been spared a thought, she nearly inhales the stuff!! So very different our two girls...

Trying to get the real meaning of Easter through to the girls has been an interesting challenge, and we tried various creative means - the empty egg, making craft while talking about new life, reading Easter books about Jesus being risen, Kids church and MOPS programs that we attend....if you have any more/different ideas for next year I'd be keen to hear about them.
