Alphabet Easter Egg Hunt

Yesterday morning, Buddy told me over breakfast that he wanted to do a surprise.  I took that to mean that he wanted to do something a little different than usual. Fortunately for both of us, I had an idea ready to go.

Buddy has been very interested in learning his letters lately, so I’ve been busy looking for fun alphabet activities. I saw several different versions of an alphabet scavenger hunt with Easter eggs on Pinterest, and I knew Buddy would love it. I really loved the coloring sheet on Playdough to Plato’s blog, but when I asked Buddy, he said he would prefer using magnetic letters on a baking pan.

While Buddy was playing with Hubby, I pulled out a bag of magnetic letters and put each letter in an Easter egg. Then, I hid them around the house. I also found an old baking pan and I wrote each letter on the pan with a dry erase marker.

I gave Buddy his Easter basket, because I thought he’d find all the eggs before opening them to match the letters. But actually, Buddy decided to find and match one letter at a time. Then he put the empty egg in the Easter basket. He used up a lot of energy running back and forth between the eggs and the pan. 

Buddy had a lot of fun finding the eggs, and even more fun matching up the letters. He was especially excited when he knew the letter. Because he went through the entire alphabet, I saw exactly which letters we need to spend extra time on this summer. 

This was such a fun and easy activity for a rainy morning. Buddy had a lot of fun, and he got some great literacy practice as well.
