Happy Easter

Easter will arrive soon. We have been doing some activities to prepare for the celebration. We received our golden Lindt bunnies. We placed an egg in vinegar and watched the outer shell disappear over a few days.  We did some egg decorating in Pysanky style, which is a Ukranian folk art. I purchased for 32 cents an adorable Easter activity set from: https://www.etsy.com/dk-en/listing/789789789/pdf-with-10-printable-easter-activities
