Easter is an important holiday for many families and communities, especially for kids who get to enjoy all of the beloved traditions that have been passed down through generations. Planning an Easter party or even a simple backyard gathering can take a lot of time and work, which is why many families enlist the help of a professional who knows exactly how to help little ones have a memorable day.
Here are some Easter activity ideas to help you celebrate this holiday, as well how a nanny can help bring these ideas together for lots of festive fun.
Search for an Easter Egg Hunt Near Me
Cities, small towns, and rural communities often host Easter egg hunts that get little ones running around in search of tiny treasures. You can do an online search for “Easter egg hunt near me” or check with your local school or park district for egg hunt dates and times.
Visit the Easter Bunny
The Easter bunny is an iconic figure that many small children enjoy, so it’s fun to visit the Easter bunny and snap some memorable photos. You’ll find Easter bunny photo ops at shopping malls, parks, hair salons, kids’ play places, and even private parties.
Make Creative Easter Egg Designs
Decorating Easter eggs is a favorite part of this holiday as well, and you can make your eggs as simple or elaborate as you like based on how crafty you are and how much time you have. To go beyond just dying your eggs different colors, you can imprint eggs with temporary tattoos, add faux flower to eggs, or put some glitter in your paint. Other crafty ideas are to make crochet Easter eggs out of yarn, decorate hardboiled eggs to look like animals with felt and googly eyes, and make a table centerpiece using eggs you’ve decorated.
Create Festive Easter Baskets
To encourage the spirit of generosity in your kids this Easter, consider having them put creative Easter basket ideas to good use and benefit people in need. You may be able to donate Easter baskets to local nursing homes, assisted living centers, schools, shelters, churches, and nonprofit organizations that assist needy families. Stock your Easter baskets with a mix of sweet treats (think chocolate Easter eggs) and healthy snacks (nuts and dried fruit are great options). Crayons, erasers, stickers, bubbles, chalk, and hand sanitizer are fun Easter basket additions too.
