Easter for a 16 mth old

**Tammy** · 21-03-2009, 07:46 PM

What can I do for an Easter activity for a 16 mth old please. She puts paint brushes and paint in her mounth

and then she ends up with a rash around her mouth so want to try and avoid paint. She's not walking yet either so nothing that requires walking.

Thanks

Sam

Easter egg hunt, hide plastic eggs or egg shapes cut out of card and hide them under cushions, furniture inside boxes under toys and have a mini hunt.

We have done spring lambs in a field - green paper, let him stick glue on the paper and cotton wool where he wants - DA DA sheep in a field, his mum saw the funny side.

Also done, chicks in the yard - similar concept, yellow cotton wool, brown paper and glue! If you wanted to get creative you could try and get them to stick on a precut hen house or beaks but it was more than enough for mine to actually get the glue on the paper then the cotton wool.

I also cut out sheep and chicks and let them just glue cotton wool too it, these went on our spring wall display.

Also planning on getting them to stick coloured paper/foil to egg shape pieces of paper.

you can let the baby mingle with paint on a piece of paper.
an other day, put some safe glue and let him put egg shells.
for the chick it is semolina
