Easter Fun for Families

Easter may be a little bit different this year. But, the grass is beginning to turn green again. Trees and flowers are budding. Those songbirds have something to sing about—Spring! And there’s no better time to celebrate the warmer weather than having a good old-fashioned Easter egg hunt with your family this holiday. Of course, with our social distancing orders in full force, this means immediate family!

A traditional egg hunt—hiding plastic candy-filled eggs for the children to find—is still great entertainment, even if it is just you and your kids. Now let’s give it a healthier twist by hiding strips of paper with “eggs-ercises” printed on them! The links at Eats Amazing and Alice & Lois have printable activities to get you started.  

If the idea of plastic eggs turns you off, ParentMap has some ideas that could easily be done without the polymers. Pirate-themed scavenger hunts, dinosaur digs, or a top-secret mission hunt could become new annual traditions at Easter.

Leave it to Martha Stewart to come up with an indoor alternative for small children using homemade candy cups. 

Easter is the perfect occasion to get the family moving about, to inspire new traditions, and to get those memorable videos and photos.  

Happy Easter!
