Design an Easter calendar is a fun children's Easter project. Materials needed include:
- Sturdy piece of paper, such as cardboard, a manila folder, or cardstock
- Glue
- Markers
- Precut letters
- Easter stickers
- Construction paper
- Glitter
- Ruler
- Easter grass
Using approximately ¾ of the paper, draw a 5 row, 7 column table of 35 squares. Label the top of each column Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. For the year 2006, start on Saturday and write 1.
Continue labeling the following squares to 30. (The square containing Sunday in the last row will need to be sectioned into two triangles in order to make all the numbers fit properly.)
Use the construction paper or stickers to make pictures representing April Fools’ Day, Daylight Savings Time, Good Friday, and Easter. Place the pictures on April 1, 2, 14, and 16 respectively.
Use the precut letters to spell the month at the top of the calendar, and above the month, use the Easter grass, construction paper, stickers, and glitter to design a picture for the month. Older children can write an Easter poem in place of the picture and layer construction paper behind the poem as a frame.
