Educational Crafts
For something educational, check out this Easter egg matching game. All you need are plastic eggs, a sharpie, and a basket. Choose a concept kids can match, like upper and lower case letters, numbers and number of items, etc. Write corresponding things on each half of the plastic, mix up the halves, and then let your kiddo match away.
If you want to use Easter as a time to teach kids about generosity and caring for their neighbor, why not “egg” your neighbors? It’s not what it sounds like! In this game, you fill eleven eggs with goodies and leave one empty. Print off the note to tape to your neighbor’s door, hide the eggs around their yard, then ring the bell and run!
If you like the idea of hiding eggs but don’t want to have the religious theme, simply fill all the eggs and write your own note about how you appreciate your neighbors and wish them a Happy Easter. You can do whatever you want with this game because it is versatile.
We all know Easter is a time when our kids get extra candy. Why not get some exercise in between candy bars?
Check out this creative Easter Eggs-ercises. Use their template, or make up your own twelve exercises. Place each exercise in an egg, have the kids find the eggs, and then they have to do the exercises.
