5 Fun Easter Activities For Children

Easter is a time of happiness, celebration, and joy for many families. For children, it’s a fascinating time with plenty of opportunities for fun and engaging activities. 

This post will discuss five Easter activities that children will love.

Easter Egg Hunt

The Easter egg hunt is a classic activity that kids look forward to every year. The hunt involves hiding decorated eggs around your home or backyard and challenging children to find as many eggs as possible. 

This activity can be modified for children of all ages, with easier hiding spots for younger children and more challenging ones for older kids. You can include prizes or sweets inside the eggs to make the hunt even more exciting.

To prepare for the egg hunt, you’ll need to purchase or decorate eggs beforehand. You can use traditional Easter eggs or get creative with paint, stickers, and glitter. 

Easter Crafts

Another great way to celebrate Easter is by making crafts with your children. There are many different crafts that you can do together, including decorating Easter eggs, creating Easter baskets, or making bunny ears. You can find craft kits at most craft stores or search for ideas online.

One popular craft activity is creating an Easter bonnet. You can purchase plain hats at a craft store or use one you already own. Then, decorate the hat with flowers, ribbons, or Easter-themed decorations. You can make a simpler version for younger children by decorating a paper plate with Easter decorations and attaching it to a headband.

Easter Baking

Easter baking is a fun way to get creative in the kitchen and make delicious treats. You can bake cookies or cupcakes in Easter-themed shapes, such as bunnies or eggs. You can decorate your treats with pastel-coloured frosting, sprinkles, or candy.

You can create a DIY Easter gingerbread house for a fun and interactive baking activity. Use gingerbread biscuits to build the walls and roof, and decorate it with Easter-themed candies and frosting.

Easter Nature Walk

Spring is a great time to get outside and explore nature with your children. You can take a nature walk through a local park or nature reserve and look for signs of spring, such as budding flowers or baby animals. 

You can create a scavenger hunt to make the walk even more exciting. Make a list of items to look for, such as a specific type of flower or a bird’s nest. Children can check off the items as they find them and receive a small prize at the end.

Easter Themed Games

Finally, Easter games are a fun way to celebrate the holiday with your children. You can set up an egg and spoon race, where children must balance an egg on a spoon while racing to the finish line. Or, you can set up a game of pin the tail on the bunny, where children must try to pin a tail onto a picture of a bunny while blindfolded.

Another fun game is the bunny hop relay. Divide children into teams, and have them hop on one foot while holding a balloon between their knees. The first team to complete the relay wins a prize.
