Materials:
1) Begin by reading If I Were A Bunny with the child in a comfortable chair. Be sure to use an expressive tone to keep the little one engaged. Encourage them to turn the pages on their own, guiding as needed.
2) You will need 2 sets of footprints. Clean the child’s feet and allow the prints to dry.
3) Print off a picture of the child’s face and cut out. Cut out a belly out of paper. Glue all of the pieces together. You can write “Hoppy Easter” with the little one's name and date if desired.

More spring activities with baby girl are coming soon!
Begin the activity by finding a comfortable spot to sing with the child. Sing: “Here comes Peter Cottontail, Hoppin' down the bunny trail, Hippity, hoppity, Easter's on its way. Bringin' every girl and boy Baskets full of Easter joy, Things to make your Easter bright and gay. He's got jelly beans for Tommy, Colored eggs for sister Sue, There's an orchid for your Mommy And an Easter bonnet, too. Oh! here comes Peter Cottontail, Hoppin' down the bunny trail, Hippity hoppity, Happy Easter day.” When finished, you can begin the memory craft. Paint the child’s foot and stamp onto paper. Clean the child’s foot. Add bunny ears, eggs, and grass with paint to the picture. Add a small cotton ball for a tail.  Easter is right around the corner! Little girl was excited to explore some eggs. She practiced grabbing and hitting them together, listening to the interesting sound that they made. More Easter activities to come!
Baby girl was happy when the balls were introduced, giggling and clapping. Like most little ones, she was naturally drawn to the bright hues. She quickly discovered that kicking her feet made for a kaleidoscope of colors! 
**Always supervise children during sensory activities. Do not allow the child to climb out of the ball pit without assistance to prevent injury** It’s the first day of spring! We thought we would celebrate with a good book and an art activity. Little girl enjoyed learning about the colors of the rainbow as we read together. The paintbrush tickled her toes when Mrs. Erika was painting them! 
This is a wonderful activity to include infants in Dr. Seuss Day! Baby girl is now able to sit without support. She is also putting everything in her mouth. This is why it is so important to make sure that lid is on securely! She has started to notice our camera, reaching out for it as we try to snap pictures.  Materials:
Note: ** Make sure that the lid is glued on securely! *** Do not walk away from the child during sensory play. Do not place sensory items in the crib with the child.
After reaching for and grabbing the bottle, baby girl became curious about the colored hearts inside. The movement of them rolling around kept her attention for quite some time.  We discussed the different colors of the hearts, and she gave verbalization's and smiles to express how she was feeling about the sensory experience.
** * Make sure that the lid is glued on securely! ***
Do not walk away from the child during sensory play. Do not place sensory items in the crib with the child. Our little guy was excited to do a Valentine’s Day activity!  Half way through, he decided that he wanted to mix the colors together, creating his own color. We reviewed the names of the different colors while he was creating as well. 
 This was little guy’s first time with lacing using a child-safe threading needle. When introduced to the concept, he was very intrigued and was excited to try himself.
  Create the sensory bag by adding a cup of baby oil to the Ziploc bag. Add in several drops of red food coloring. Add the foam hearts and glitter. Finally, add in a tablespoon of water. Seal with duct tape on all sides.
