Since Spring has finally sprung (well, sort of if you live in the Northeast like me) and Easter is right around the corner, I thought we’d kick off the first week of this challenge with an Easter themed poem and activity.
This poem — like all the ones I’ve chosen is short and should be pretty easy to memorize in one week. The craft activity idea was inspired by my beloved Pinterest website. I added my own personal touches just to spice it up a bit.
Remember, the goal of this challenge is two-fold: to memorize the poems with your kids and work on the craft activity together at some point during the week. That’s it! Also, you don’t have to be crafty to work on the projects. The main thing is for you and the kids to have fun and to have the experience together. We’re not going for perfection here.
Here is the first poem we’ll be memorizing:
