If you're hosting or attending an Easter get-together, here are some fun and engaging activities to keep the little ones busy and happy.

1. Easter Egg Hunt

No Easter celebration is complete without an exciting egg hunt! Hide colorful plastic eggs around the yard or house and let the kids search for them. For an extra twist, consider:

• Golden Egg Prize – Hide one special golden egg with a bigger prize inside.
• Color-Coded Hunts – Assign different colored eggs to different age groups to make it fair.
• Glow-in-the-Dark Egg Hunt – Use glow sticks inside plastic eggs for an evening hunt!
• Personalized Coupons - Add your own personalized Bunny Bucks inside eggs with personalized gifts! 

2. Easter Craft Station

Set up a table with fun craft supplies like markers, stickers, and paint for kids to create their own Easter masterpieces. Ideas include:

• Decorating paper bunny masks
• Making Easter scrapbook pages
• Painting or dyeing real eggs

3. Bunny Hop Race

Get kids moving with a fun bunny hop race! Give each child a burlap sack or pillowcase and have them hop to the finish line. This is a great way to burn off energy before Easter dinner.

4. Easter Story Time

Gather the kids for a fun and interactive Easter-themed story session. Choose books about Easter traditions, springtime adventures, or classic bunny tales. Bonus: let older kids take turns reading!

5. DIY Easter Photo Booth

Create a cute Easter-themed photo area with bunny ears, pastel props, and a festive backdrop. Kids (and adults!) will love posing for fun family pictures.

6. Egg and Spoon Race

A classic outdoor game that’s perfect for Easter! Give each child a spoon and an egg (real or plastic) and have them race without dropping it. Add a relay race version for extra fun.

7. Easter Cookie Decorating

Bake a batch of sugar cookies in fun Easter shapes like bunnies, chicks, and eggs. Set up a decorating station with icing, sprinkles, and candies so kids can design their own treats.

8. Printable Easter Games

Keep kids entertained with fun printable activities like word searches, mazes, dot-to-dot, and coloring pages. These are great for quiet time and can be a lifesaver during mealtime. Come check out these ready-to-download and print!
