Easter Snack Supplies
Easter snacks should celebrate the colors of the season and illuminate the feelings of spring! When we’re talking about snacks for school we want to make them fun, but also watch for too much sugar and possible allergens. Focusing on how we package snacks can be the key to finding that middle ground between nutrition and fun. Here are the supplies that I like to keep stocked during this time of year (all links are affiliates). Fancy Sprinkles edible glitter – This stuff just makes everything a little more fun. It can be sprinkled or brushed on top of snacks, or added to drinks for some extra shimmer. Chocolate bunny…

Easter Egg Dye Art
Egg prices definitely have me rethinking the dying Easter egg tradition this year. BUT I have a great classroom alternative! I don’t love to dye eggs in the classroom typically because they just don’t end up getting eaten. I appreciate the process and all of the learning experiences (differences between raw eggs and hardboiled, dying sensory experiences, peeling dyed eggs, taste testing, etc.), but it definitely comes with a cost factor. This year I’ll be sticking with egg-free experiences, and dropper dying is one of my absolute favorites. To do this great activity all you need is egg dye, water, eye droppers, and paper towels. Make sure that you have…

Preschool Easter Egg Games
When it comes to Easter activities for the classroom, you absolutely cannot go wrong with anything using plastic easter eggs. Preschoolers LOVE these things, so any money spent on them is always well worth it! Little ones will happily hunt for Easter eggs over and over again, and opening an Easter egg to find a surprise – even an educational one – is a preschooler’s ultimate fantasy. There are so many different games that these can be used for, here are some ideas to get you started. Hide the eggs in different spaces (classroom playground, different rooms in your school, etc.) and ask children to find specific colored eggs. Each…

Low-key Spring Break Plans
I’ve never been one to make major spring break plans – I don’t love to travel at peak times – so I tend to lean more towards staycations or really leaning into relaxation. Here are my favorite ways to spend a very low-key, chill spring break. I firmly believe these kinds of breaks should leave you feeling refreshed and ready to get back to work or school. When you’re traveling, you don’t always return home relaxed! Making a conscious decision to chill really changes both the vibes of your spring break, and helps you feel like you’ve actually made the most of that opportunity.

Spring Break Style
The sun has finally started shining again, and that always signals my brain for warm weather clothes. I’m desperate to wear all things coastal. Here’s what’s currently in my cart for spring break 2025! Straw tote – I had a bag like this as a teen and I’m kicking myself for getting rid of it. I could not be happier that this look is coming back and I absolutely will have one of these again for the summer. Round Sunglasses – Is it possible to have too many sunglasses? I don’t think so. These are classic and trendy at the same time and I love the color. Pearl Huggie Hoops…
