Easter is a time for family fun, creativity, and making memories with the kids. Whether you’re looking to celebrate the traditional aspects of the holiday or just want to enjoy some playful activities, there are plenty of ideas to keep your little ones entertained. Here’s a list of things to do on Easter with kids, making the day both enjoyable and meaningful.
1. Host an Easter Egg Hunt
One of the most beloved Easter traditions is the egg hunt. Hide plastic or real eggs around your house, yard, or even at the park, and have the kids search for them. You can fill the eggs with candies, small toys, or even notes with clues for a scavenger hunt twist. For younger kids, keep the eggs in obvious spots. For older children, add a little mystery with clues or challenges they must complete before finding the next egg.
2. Make Easter Crafts
Engage your kids’ creativity by making Easter-themed crafts. Here are some ideas:
Egg Decorating: Boil some eggs and let the kids paint, color, or sticker them. You can even try dyeing eggs for a colorful effect.
Bunny Ears Headbands: Create bunny ears from construction paper and have the kids wear them for fun.
Easter Baskets: Help your kids make their own Easter baskets using colored paper, felt, and ribbon. You can also fill them with goodies!
Crafting is a wonderful way for kids to express their creativity and make something special for the holiday.
3. Bake Easter Treats
Baking is a great way to spend quality time with the kids and satisfy your sweet tooth! Try baking Easter-themed treats like bunny-shaped cookies, cupcakes decorated with pastel-colored frosting, or chocolate nests filled with candy eggs. Set up a decorating station with frosting, sprinkles, and candies to let the kids decorate their own cookies or cupcakes.
4. Play Easter Games
There are many Easter-themed games that you can play with your kids for a fun and active time. Some ideas include:
Egg and Spoon Race: Have the kids race while balancing an egg on a spoon. You can make it more challenging by adding obstacles.
Bunny Hop Relay: Have the kids hop like bunnies from one side of the yard to the other. This is great for burning off some energy!
Pin the Tail on the Bunny: A fun twist on the classic game of “Pin the Tail on the Donkey.” Blindfold the kids and have them try to pin a cotton tail onto a bunny poster.
5. Have a Family Picnic
If the weather is nice, take your Easter celebration outdoors. Pack a basket with sandwiches, fruit, and treats, and head to a park or your backyard for a family picnic. You can also include games, like flying kites or playing catch, to keep everyone entertained.
6. Create Easter Bingo or Scavenger Hunts
Easter Bingo: Create bingo cards with Easter-themed pictures like eggs, bunnies, baskets, and flowers. Use small candies as markers and play with the kids.
Easter Scavenger Hunt: Write out clues related to Easter or hide Easter-themed items around the house or yard. The kids will love the challenge of finding all the items on the list.
7. Host an Easter Parade
Turn your house into a runway! Have the kids dress up in Easter-themed costumes, whether it’s as bunnies, chicks, or something else, and have a mini Easter parade at home. You can even make it a competition with prizes for the most creative, funniest, or cutest costumes.
8. Egg Rolling or Running Contest
A fun outdoor activity where family members race to roll their eggs to a finish line. The egg that travels the furthest without breaking wins! Or carry an egg on a spoon and who can run to the finish line without dropping it wins!
9. Easter Piñata
Make an Easter-themed piñata filled with candies or small toys. Let the kids take turns trying to break it open, then enjoy the goodies inside!
10. Spring Nature Walk
Head outside and go for a nature walk or hike to explore the signs of spring, like blooming flowers. Bring along an Easter basket to “collect” interesting items like pretty flowers or rocks along the way.
