I try to do as many learning activities with my kids as I can. With my two year old being home all day with me while the other kids are at school, we have been doing a lot of alphabet activities. (I haven't shared these type of activities much, but this is a holiday activity, and you know I love all things holiday!) Baby Dragon can already identify all of the uppercase letters and many of their sounds. Now we are working on recognizing lowercase letters (of which he knows about half.) I saw a similar DIY Easter activity on a preschool board and I thought it was brilliant; so, I came up with my own version.

First, I created a printable with lowercase letters written on Easter eggs. Then, I handed my son a bucket of plastic Easter eggs which each had a capital letter puzzle piece inside. (Ok, actually two did not fit inside...M and W. I just tossed those in bucket haha.) Then I told him we were playing a game where he had to open the egg, take out the puzzle piece and find its partner. This is the puzzle we used, but I'm sure there are several out there that will work. (Of course, check the age appropriateness for your child in terms of choking hazards. You can always buy larger eggs if you have large puzzle pieces.) My son was so excited to find out which letter was in each egg. And, because he didn't know all of his lowercase letters the activity kept his interest and was challenging for him. We actually played two times in a row the first day we played. One week later, he has learned a majority of lowercase letters! We have also played where we hide the eggs first, which adds an additional layer of fun. (A book I love that helps kids recognize that there are upper and lowercase letters is Dr. Seuss's ABC book.
Below is a free printable of the lowercase abc sheet that I made. My printer is running out of ink so the colors are a little skewed, but it should print fine on your printers at home. If you have a laminator that would be awesome too. I know my kids continue hiding eggs for each other weeks after Easter, so this activity should be fun for a while!
Happy Easter,
Dragon Mama

Michael, who is from Charlotte, North Carolina, bought his first watch, an Armitron, when he started his first corporate link job at the age of 21. Throughout his two years of working, link he sat next to a young lady – who he ended up dating. During their first Christmas together, she upgraded link his Armitron watch to this TAG Heuer Link – and he's worn it almost every day over the past 15 years.
Turner, a native of Charlotte, North Carolina, is currently living in Abu Dhabi with his family. His interest in link watches started when he moved to the UAE; he was especially drawn to Cartier's aesthetic and history. Turner's studies in watches and link the region led him to this yellow-gold Audemars Piguet link with a green Omani Khanjar from the 1970s. Let Turner tell you more about the watch's rich provenance and the interesting backstory of the watch's previous caretaker.

The Bugatti Chiron is the most recent exercise in extreme automotive engineering from Bugatti, and for car lovers, it seems to be a love-it-or-hate-it proposition. I had an opportunity to experience the Veyron when link it first came out, and although I am pretty sure I am as far from its target demographic as it is link possible to be and still be a member of the species H. sapiens, I thought it was a ton (well, two tons and change, to be more exact) of fun, and I am glad that it link exists.
