Easter Activities for Kids!
Easter is almost here! This is undoubtedly a time of year that ignites excitement and joy in the little ones. This holiday provides the perfect setting for creating unforgettable memories, stimulating imagination, and fostering lots and lots of laughter.
Today we present to you 10 activities specially designed for children, which will guarantee you a fun, magical, and highly creative time!
Sponge Egg Painting
Offer children plastic or cardboard eggs and washable paint. Use small sponges or pieces of them so they can add splashes of color to the eggs, a perfect way to experiment with painting without worrying about the mess.
Egg and Spoon Race
A physical activity they will love. Use an appropriately sized spoon and a plastic egg. Children must carry the egg on the spoon from one point to another without dropping it. You can set up a small obstacle course in the garden or living room.
Planting Magic Seeds
Tell them they will plant Easter magic seeds (they can be lentils or beans) in small pots or containers. Take care of the plant’s growth together, teaching them the importance of nature and the care it requires.
Creating Bunny Masks
With cardboard, cotton, and elastic, create Easter bunny masks. This activity is not only fun but also encourages creativity and fine motor skills as they cut, paste, and decorate their masks.

Themed Songs and Dances
Learn Easter songs or invent some with fun movements that mimic jumping bunnies. Here are some ideas that might help.
Reading Easter Stories
Take time to read Easter-related stories. Choose age-appropriate stories that capture their attention and spark their imagination. Here are a couple of ideas:
Cookie or Cupcake Decorating
Prepare cookies or cupcakes in advance (and if you add colors to the mix, even better). Then, look for colorful frostings, sprinkles, and edible decorations for the children to decorate with. This activity is perfect for fostering creativity and enjoying a different and delicious snack.
Easter Treasure Hunt
Organize a treasure hunt with simple clues that lead them to find small gifts. This activity stimulates problem-solving and offers lots of fun in the process. Try to create a magical setting, place rabbit footprints with talcum powder or flour on the floor, decorate the house a bit, play along, and have fun!
Art with Handprints and Footprints
Use non-toxic paint to create art with hands and footprints. They can turn these prints into bunnies, chicks, or any other Easter character, create your own Easter pictures with your little ones, and decorate the walls of your home or classroom.
These activities are not only fun ways to celebrate Easter with the little ones but also precious opportunities to teach them about tradition, creativity, and the value of spending time with family and friends.
Keep in mind that the most important thing is to enjoy the process and create happy moments that children will fondly remember.
