Easter is almost here, which means that children are at home. If you want to know what fun activities you can do to keep them entertained, we can help. Let’s look at five easy Easter activities to make their time exciting and enjoyable.

Five Fun Activities You Can Let Your Kids Try This Easter.

Do Easter stories or riddles.

Ask an older sibling or another family member to tell Easter stories and have the kids gather in a designated area. Many free Easter stories are available online if you don’t have Easter storybooks. Adults can join in the fun reading stories they grew up hearing. You can also include a few Easter riddles between stories and offer little incentives (chocolate, candy, etc.) as prizes.

Decorate Easter eggs.

Decorating Easter eggs can be fun, but consider the technique if you plan to eat the eggs. We recommend that you do not use anything you would not eat. Egg shells are easy to permeate, and you want to ensure that the eggs are safe to eat later. Use hard-boiled eggs. You can put them in the refrigerator for later use. You can search online for egg decorating tips or ideas for inspiration. 

Give them some guesswork with a Jellybean Jar.

Most children love playing guessing games, especially if there is a prize. Put some jellybeans in a jar and let them think of the total. You can also count a specific colour before putting it in the jar and have the children guess the total of that colour. Let them write their guesses on paper and give the winner a prize or the jar to take home.

Pin the Bunny Tail.

If you’ve played “Pin the Tail on the Donkey”, you already know how this game works. You can blindfold the children playing and have them try to pin the tail on a bunny instead of a donkey. Remember to have them spin around a few times to make it more challenging but fun. The player who pins the tail closest to the target wins.

Have an Easter scavenger hunt.

A scavenger hunt is a fantastic party activity to engage everyone. Some items you can include in your scavenger hunt include candies, small coloured eggs, jellybeans, and tiny plush bunnies. Let everyone know the rules so they are safe. Have an adult monitor the children while they play and ensure you have enough prizes for everyone to find one of each on their list.

Now that you have a few games you can try, it’s time to think about supplies. You can use Find Yello to search for party supplies stores, supermarkets, or related businesses to help make Easter with the kids exciting.
