Also Great for Decor!
I’m sure you can imagine how adorable these Easter Egg Puzzles would look in your classroom, especially when combined with some of my Bunny puzzles, too. They make GREAT bulletin boards, doorway decorations, or even hallways displays! Your students can cut them out, complete their puzzles, and then decorate them in whatever colors and patterns they want on their eggs. The finished displays are a wonderful way to welcome Spring and celebrate the Easter season.
