Easter Egg Collection

After my Scrambled Eggs Post I was asked to share my Easter Egg collection and some of the songs that I use with them.  So, here's some of my collection!  Now, what I put in the fish depends on what musical concept my kiddos are working on.  Sometimes I will put song phrases in them and they have to put them in order but most times I use the Scrambled Eggs idea.  

I have fish:

I use a variety of songs with them:

  • Who's Got a Fishpole? 
  • Crawdad Song 
  • One, Two Three, Four Five 
  • Ickle Ockle:



Two types of cupcakes:


This is my FAVORITE song to do with the Cupcakes:
But I've also done "Three Little Muffins" with comparatives.

Carrots:

With the carrots we use:
  • Chop, Chop, Chippity Chop
  • Old Mr. Rabbit
  • Rabbit Run on the Frozen Ground
  • Mr. Rabbit


I've got ice cream cones and Popsicles!!
Here's the song that I use with these:

These little cuties:
 I use them for half note with this song:

There are snails:


Seashells:

The sea shells can also be used with Sailor Sailor,  White Sand and Gray Sand and Oh, Sailor Come Ashore.

There are flowers:
You can use them with:
  • Blue Bells
  • All Around the Buttercup
  • Wall flowers:


And I have quite the collection of balls:
These can be used with Plainsies Clapsies and Bounce High, Bounce Low

Here are my new Ladybugs:  (Did you even notice that "Ladybug's Picnic" is a nice so-mi-do pattern at the beginning?)
 And monkeys:

I'll admit that not all times I use them with songs. . .sometimes I'll use the footballs simply because it's football season and I want a "motivator" to get the kids to read some melodies or rhythms. . . 

I found almost all of these AFTER Easter and some of them were in the candy aisle (filled with candy which I used for choir incentives).  I forgot to take pictures of the heart containers )that are similar to eggs) that I found at the Dollar Store this year.  I found some more cute eggs at Oriental trading in this years catalog.  I hope this gives you an idea into my collection.  There are MANY ways to use them.  I'll probably come back and edit this post later. . . . I just got done with my 3rd graders' concert and I'm a little tired!! :)
