Teacher Friendly Educational Extension
This printable Easter basket craft is a fun way to practice fine motor skills. Children can work on cutting, stapling with help from an adult, coloring, and simple assembly. For a classroom activity, invite students to count how many eggs they placed in the basket, sort the eggs by color, or write a short sentence about who they would give their basket to.
