Fun Easter activity ideas with kids

1. Easter egg hunt

No kid’s Easter would be complete without it! Hide eggs around the house or in the yard and let the kids hunt for them. Spice it up for older kids by including written clues or messages along the way, to make the hunt more challenging and exciting. You can also add additional challenges, like finding a specific egg, or solving a puzzle before finding the eggs. Make a list of Easter-themed items for kids to find in addition to sweets, such as stuffed bunnies, books, stickers, or for a more traditional approach, try something more symbolic of the holiday, like hard-boiled eggs.

2. Easter-themed crafts:

Encourage kids to get creative by providing a variety of materials for them to create Easter-themed crafts, such as decorating eggs, creating Easter baskets, or making Easter cards for loved ones.

One way to enjoy the holiday mood any time of year is by reading stories related to the holiday. Read books about Easter to kids, or act out their favorites with a play or puppet show.
