 Step Four:  I set up each child's spot with the pre-made basket and watercolors.
I let them know that they can draw designs on the basket first, if they wish.

My kindergarten team hides six eggs per child.  We write their first and last name on each of their six eggs.  During the egg hunt –  they have to find their eggs.   Mrs. Mendoza (one of my colleagues) separates the eggs by color, putting the same candy in each specific color.  Then she tell her kindergartners to find their name on each of the six colors.  I love her method!!!  If a child has found only 5 eggs – it is easy to figure out what color is missing!  Genius!
