Eggs, Chicks and Bunnies

We’ve all heard of Easter eggs, chocolate bunnies and peeps chicks this time of year – but have you ever heard of birds’ nests you can eat, or even birds’ nests you can spray-paint? Yes, we do it all at the Frankie Lemmon School!

We started off the day by reading about Easter Bugs…




















Then Miss Paula led us as we “Wiped Out” with musical bells and shaker eggs. As Miss White and Miss Forbis looked on, we played so hard that even one of the eggs began to dance!

















It was on to the birds’ nests! Miss Forbis had already made “nests” by mixing melted peanut butter chips & butter with chow mein noodles. Then my friends topped them with jellybean eggs and (marshmallow) peeps chicks. Occupational therapist Vicki Demaster decided this was too much fun to miss, so she joined us at the table. Our final stop was the great outdoors where we took turns making an even different type of nest – this time by spray-painting coffee filters with food coloring. (Sorry, birds, we’ll paint you the next time!)















It was a day of fun stuff – a day filled with joy! And next week is Spring Break, also a time of joy. It ends (and begins) with Easter, definitely – for many – a time of Joy!
