Hi! I’m Debbie from Homeschooling Dietitian Mom—a homeschooling mom for 10+ years, a Registered Dietitian, and most importantly, a lover of Jesus. I'm hoping that these adorable images, cards, coloring pages, and stickers will help you celebrate the Easter season with your students, whether homeschooled or in a classroom setting. Inside you’ll find adorable Easter & spring sticker sheets (perfect for planners, notebooks, reward charts, or craft time) plus faith-filled coloring pages featuring Bible verses to help kids reflect on the real meaning of Easter. I chose the items in this set to create a mix of “Happy Easter” and spring-themed stickers (like carrots and a caterpillar/butterfly) along with Christian Easter stickers and phrases such as He Is Risen , Hosanna , and more. I've also included coloring pages with crosses, flowers, and Bible verses: John 3:16 and 1 Peter 1:3. These activities will be perfect for quiet time, morning baskets, Sunday school, or family devotion activities. Quick peek at what’s inside: Sticker sheets (pages 2–4): “Happy Easter” carrots, a caterpillar & butterfly, and several cross/faith-themed stickers (e.g., “Hosanna in the Highest,” “He is Risen,” "tetelestai/it is finished,” “the tomb was empty,” “hallelujah what a savior,” “Jesus lives,” etc.). Coloring-style cross pages with verses (pages 5–6): John 3:16 and 1 Peter 1:3. Large single stickers (pages 7–8): “hosanna in the highest” and “hallelujah what a savior.” See example images of what's inside. pdf downloadable file, 8 pages including cover page. Can be printed on regular paper, cardstock, or sticker paper. Though this activity pack does not specifically target common core standards, it does support fine-motor skills, early literacy (word recognition), and writing extensions.

Let’s be honest, teaching colors should be as exciting as a rainbow after a storm (but without the mess of actual paint everywhere). That’s where My Color Wheel Game comes in! This interactive, hands-on activity makes learning about colors fun, engaging, and just the right amount of competitive . Whether your little learners are just starting to explore primary colors or ready to mix things up (literally), this game helps them understand how colors work in a way that actually sticks , unlike that red marker stain on your sleeve. How to Use (Because We Know You Like Options!): ✔ Morning Warm-Up – Get those brains buzzing with some colorful fun! ✔ Small Group Activity – Perfect for teamwork and friendly competition. ✔ Early Finishers – Because finishing early shouldn’t mean getting bored. ✔ Indoor Recess – A lifesaver when it’s too rainy, too cold, or too “I don’t wanna go outside.” ✔ Art Integration – Teach color mixing in a way that actually makes sense! Why You’ll Love It: ✔ Zero prep – Just print and play! ✔ Hands-on learning – Kids stay engaged without realizing they’re learning. ✔ Encourages creativity – Because the world needs more artists, not just adults who color inside the lines. ✔ No glitter involved – A teacher’s dream!
