5 Meaningful Ways to Celebrate Easter with Your Kids
Easter is almost here, and it’s a great time of year to spend some quality time with your little ones. Whether you’re looking for ways to make the most of the holiday or just want to take a break from the same old routine, these five creative ideas will help you craft an Easter celebration that everyone in your family can enjoy!
1. Take a Spring Nature Walk
Getting outside in the fresh air is always good for the soul! Pack a picnic lunch and explore the wonders of nature this Easter season. Have your children help search for signs of new life—like blooming flowers, buzzing bees, and hopping bunnies—as you take in the beauty of springtime.
2. Plant an Herb Garden
An herb garden is a great way to teach your children about gardening and healthful eating habits all at once! You can plant easy-to-grow herbs like basil and parsley in small pots or directly into the ground. As an added bonus, you’ll have fresh herbs available all season long for cooking up delicious meals together as a family!
3. Make an Easter Craft
Crafts are a great way to encourage creativity and foster imagination in young minds, plus they’re tons of fun! Try making for example Bunny Ears Headband because, what's Easter without bunny ears? This craft is simple and easy enough for even the youngest crafters. All you need is some construction paper, scissors, stapler, and ribbon. Cut two bunny ears out of the construction paper and staple them to the headband. Decorate with markers or crayons, then put on and enjoy!
4. Bake Something Sweet
Nothing says “Easter” like sweet treats! Let your kids help out in the kitchen by baking their favorite holiday desserts—like carrot cake cupcakes or mini hot cross buns—or even just whipping up some homemade chocolate chip cookies! Not only will they learn valuable kitchen skills but they’ll also enjoy eating their sweet creations afterwards (and so will you!).
5. Host an Easter Egg Hunt
One of the oldest and most beloved Easter traditions is the egg hunt. Whether you hide eggs around your home or backyard, or take your kids on a hunt through the neighborhood, they'll love searching for treats. You can make it extra special by hiding eggs filled with small gifts like stickers or candy, or even add a few plastic eggs that have notes inside detailing an upcoming activity or outing.
Easter is such a wonderful time of year that should be celebrated as much as possible—especially when there are kids involved! Whether you take a nature walk, do arts & crafts together, plant an herb garden, bake something sweet, or host an egg hunt, these five unique activities will keep everyone entertained while creating lasting memories that will last long after the holiday has passed. So grab your baskets and have some fun this Easter season!
