Easter is a time for fun, family, togetherness and great food. It's also a time to keep little ones occupied with egg hunts, Easter bunny pictures and other Easter games.
To keep kids hopping along, try out these creative activities, ranging from cool worksheets you can print at home to craft projects you can make with just a few tools. No matter what you're doing, you'll be creating sweet memories that will last kids a lifetime.
Dye eggs with tissue paper
These watercolor-inspired eggs actually get their vibrant hue from tissue paper! To create them, just cut up small pieces of tissue paper in different colors. Piece by piece, dip the tissue paper in a bowl of white vinegar, then stick it onto the egg, making sure the paper is touching the shell. Once you've covered every inch of shell, let them dry completely before removing the paper to reveal your one-of-a-kind design.
Doodle on an egg print-out
If dying eggs isn't your jam (or at least, the mess isn't) this is another colorful activity to keep kids busy at the table. Kids can use markers or crayons to decorate these printable templates from Skip To My Lou. Take it one step further by cutting the eggs out and letting kids hide them around the house for a new version of an egg hunt.
Paint baby chicks
We've all seen the classic handprint turkey craft for Thanksgiving, but what about turning it into a chick for Easter? Have each kid dip a hand in washable yellow paint, then draw on faces, feet and feathers with markers to finish the look.
Design your own Easter bonnet
This activity is fun for both kids and adults! Simply secure a couple of straw sun hats (like these cute but inexpensive ones), and hand out tissue paper, stickers, cotton balls and any other craft supplies you can think of. Help tots use tape or glue to stick their favorite bits onto the hat for a cute accessory they'll be proud to wear.
Create bunny crayons
Here’s a creative way to recycle broken crayon pieces: melt them into larger multi-colored crayons! Fill a bunny-shaped silicone mold with leftover bits, then put it in the microwave so they can melt together, shares blogger Amber Fernandes. The bunny-themed, rainbow-colored results are perfect for putting on your Easter table as decor. Your kids will also have a blast using them to color during dinner.
Arrange a paper bouquet
Someone give these beautiful paper tulips a hand — literally! To create these blooms, trace your child's hand on pieces of pink construction paper. Cut the hand out and roll it into a cone shape to create the flower, curling back the "fingers" to make the whimsical petals. Attach green pipe cleaners, tie them together with a ribbon and voila! It's the cutest bouquet you ever did see.
Make egg mosaics
Sometimes, broken eggs can be put back together again. For this craft, trace an egg shape on a piece of black construction paper, says Deena Keller, crafter and founder of ABCDeeLearning. Then, tear up pieces of colored construction paper or scrap paper and put them out for kids to use. They can then use glue sticks to collage together a colorful confetti egg.
Try this egg-stacking challenge
All you need is playdough and some plastic eggs for this fun game. Toddlers can see how high they can stack their eggs, using the dough as the "cement" that holds the plastic shells together. The highest tower wins!
Cook Easter pancakes
Pancakes are an easy treat to whip up with kiddos — just stir together flour, milk, butter, salt, baking powder and eggs. To make this breakfast more festive for Easter, you can use a bunny-shaped pancake mold and add a few more special ingredients like sprinkles, food coloring or some blueberry eyes and a strawberry nose.
Play Easter I Spy
I spy with my little eye … something that is adorable! Download this Easter-themed "I Spy" worksheet and print it out so kids have something to do at the Easter table. You can help them track down Easter eggs, flowers, chicks, presents and more while they practice words and counting.
