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.

Let’s get thankful for more than just turkey with the What I’m Thankful for at School Writing Prompt! This Thanksgiving activity encourages kids to reflect on the things that make school a little less like a never-ending homework nightmare and a bit more like a fun-filled feast of learning. First, students will write about what they’re most thankful for at school, besides the obvious no homework wish. Maybe it's that one teacher who somehow makes math feel like a fun puzzle (even though it's not). Or perhaps it’s the class pet, whose only job is to look cute while everyone tries to figure out how not to kill the plant on the windowsill. Whether it's friends, favorite subjects, or that sweet, sweet recess time, kids will get to jot down their grateful thoughts. Then, the creative fun begins with a drawing! Students can illustrate their favorite school moments, perhaps an epic paper airplane contest or a perfectly executed lunch trade. This activity helps kids appreciate the little things in school, all while sneaking in some writing and drawing skills. Plus, it's a reminder that even when you're stuck with a 10-page essay, there's always something to be thankful for, like a snack break. Enjoy!

I will be honest—high school hit us like a ton of bricks! Watching my 9th-grade daughter outgrow our old curriculum was a huge wake-up call; the 'fluff' that worked in middle school just made her roll her eyes. I realized we didn’t need more prompts; we needed better conversations. That is why I built High School The Winter-Spring Dialogue Writing Prompt Bundle . I wanted something that felt as deep and complex as she is. We have spent the last few weeks sitting at the kitchen table, watching the literal thaw outside while she tackles these big, 'grown-up' ideas. Seeing her actually think instead of just filling in blanks? Those are the moments that remind me why we chose to homeschool in the first place. INCLUDED IN THIS RESOURCE: 20 reflective nature prompts 10 brainstorming note-taking sheets Analytical grading rubric Weighted high school grading scale TOPICS COVERED: Dormancy & Growth Liminality & Transitions Seasonal Reliability Vulnerability & Light If your teen gets stuck on a tough prompt, just let them sit with it. I tell my daughter all the time: some of the best ideas need a little time in the dark before they are ready to surface. I cannot wait to hear about the 'aha!' moments that happen at your house this season. Keep leaning into the thaw—the growth is coming. If you and your students/homeschoolers enjoyed this resource, please leave a review. Thank you for your support! Tina - Big Easy Homeschooling Mom

Once the writing is done, the creative fun continues with a drawing. Kids will illustrate themselves in full superhero gear, cape, mask, and maybe even a gravy boat in hand. It’s the perfect opportunity to show off their artistic talents, whether their superpower involves saving the day or just saving some room for dessert. This activity combines imagination, writing, and humor, all wrapped up in a Thanksgiving turkey-shaped cape! It’s the perfect way to give thanks for the fun (and funny) things that make the holiday extra special. Enjoy!
