Easter is a time for togetherness and family, and each year presents a new opportunity to make lasting holiday memories. You can fill the day with your favorite Easter activities—like coloring eggs, filling Easter baskets with goodies, and eating lots of chocolate bunnies—or you can start some totally new Easter traditions with your family.
If you’re frantically scrambling for some egg-stroadinary ideas to keep the family hoppy, we’ve hatched a plan; basically to give you a whole ream of egg-citing activity ideas for an egg-stra special Easter. Without further ado, let’s hop to it…
1. Decorate Eggs and Have an Easter Egg Hunt
Dying eggs is one of the best ways to get into the Easter spirit. Learn how to naturally dye Easter eggs or go with a store-bought dye—either way, your eggs will make the prettiest decorations!
It’s not Easter without the traditional egg hunt! Even if you don’t have children, you can take a cue from us and make it an all-ages activity by filling the eggs with cash prizes! Ooo it’d be so much fun to win a cash-filled egg! Lol This activity is great because it gets people moving, it allows people to feel adventurous, and it always results in a little bit of candy or chocolate for everyone. Any game that ends in chocolate is one we want to play.
2. Enjoy an Easter Brunch
What brings people together more than food? Nothing! Get the whole family in the kitchen and create the perfect Easter meal. What you create in the kitchen will taste so much better knowing you all made it together, and each person can feel the accomplishment of having helped the meal come together.
