Teacher Friendly Educational Extension
This printable Easter activity works well for building fine motor skills, especially cutting and gluing. It can also be used as a spring writing prompt. Ask children to name their Buddy Paper Doll and write a few sentences about where they are going dressed in their Easter clothes.
In the classroom, children can display their finished paper dolls on a bulletin board to create a cheerful Easter parade. This also makes a fun small-group activity for practicing color words, clothing vocabulary, and following directions.
