6 – Constructing Easter Egg Trees
Constructing an Easter egg tree is another easy craft that your family can create together. Start by finding some branches outside. This will become your “tree”. Kids love to decorate the branch using pastel paint colors or glitter for a natural look you can leave the branch as you found it.
Put the branch or branched into a large vase or plant pot, anything that will keep it standing up straight.
Next, create colorful eggs using craft foam, paper, or plastic. Each egg can be adorned with markers, paint, or even sequins. The eggs are then hung on the branch using string or ribbon, creating a fun homemade center piece.
This craft not only adds a decorative touch to your home but it’s a fun project to do on Easter with your friends and family.
7 – Easter Egg Hunt Adventures
An Easter egg hunt is a classic tradition that kids look forward to each year. The thrill of finding hidden eggs filled with treats or surprises brings excitement to the day. To elevate the experience, he or she can incorporate various themes, like a color-coded hunt where specific colors correspond to different prizes.
We like to assign a certain color to each kid. So let’s say your color is blue you will only find the blue eggs. This helps to keep kids from fighting or having all the older kids get all the eggs before the little ones.
It can be set up in the backyard, living room, or local park. Adding clues or riddles helps create a treasure hunt feel. For younger children, placing eggs in visible spots ensures they can participate fully.
8 – Baking Easter Treats Together
Baking can be a delightful Easter activity. Families can make colorful Easter Themed M&M Cookies that are both tasty and visually appealing.
You can use premade cookie dough! Just add Spring colored m&ms to the cookies. Make the M&Ms into bunny shapes by cutting one M&M in half for the ears and another M&M for the head.
9 – Preparing an Easter Brunch Spread
Easter brunch can be both festive and delicious. Make it a potluck if you want to have everyone chip in.
Adding a colorful fruit Salad filled with seasonal fruits such as strawberries, melon, and pineapple makes for a refreshing side. Consider using bunny-shaped cookie cutters to shape pieces of watermelon for an extra festive touch.
Lastly, creating a breakfast platter can provide an enticing centerpiece for the table. Pancakes, bacon, and syrup are easy to prepare and can be enhanced with fruits and spreads for variety. This brunch spread makes it easy to dig in and pick out what you love.
Healthy Easter Snack Ideas
Another fun idea is making fruit kabobs. These are super easy to make and have your kids help with.
Add strawberries, pineapple, and melon to a skewer. This not only looks appealing but also encourages kids to enjoy fresh produce.
Yogurt Parfaits can also serve as a nutritious treat. Layer yogurt with granola and berries in a clear cup. Adding a sprinkle of granola on top creates a delightful crunch, making healthy snacks both appealing and fun for kids and parents during the holiday.
10 – Crafting Easter Sensory Bins
Creating an Easter sensory bin is simple and customizable. Begin with a suitable container, such as a large plastic tub.
Fill it with a base material like dried white beans or pom poms. This provides a rich texture. Add in themed items such as plastic eggs, bunny figurines, and colorful toys.
Children can enjoy scooping, pouring, and sorting various materials. Kids can practice counting and matching by placing mini carrots or eggs in the sensory bin.
This activity fosters creativity and sensory development while keeping them busy for a long time.
11 – Planting Flowers With Kids
Planting flowers during Easter symbolizes new life and the arrival of spring. There are so many great flowers to choose from, such as daffodils, tulips, or pansies.
Begin by selecting a small area in the garden or using pots if space is limited. My kids love to prepare the soil, plant seeds, and water them. This hands-on experience teaches kids about nature and responsibility.
A fun activity for the whole family is creating flower markers using painted stones or popsicle sticks. We love watching our flowers grow throughout the season!
