12 Easter Egg Activities for Kids

Easter is on it’s way! This joyous season calls for celebrating don’t you think? One of our favorite ways to enjoy the Easter season is by decorating Easter eggs. We use the old school kits and lots of newer methods too for egg decorating. However Easter egg decorating doesn’t have to be limited to real eggs. Oh no. There are plenty of ways to play, learn and decorate with Easter eggs. Here are some of my favorite Easter Egg Activities for Kids.

Easter egg decorating doesn't have to be limited to real eggs. Here are some fun Easter Egg Activities for Kids that incorporate egg crafts and activities with traditional egg decorating.

Some essentials for Easter egg activities include:

Plastic Easter egg assortment – great for filling with candy of course, but also fabulous for lots of learning activities.

Hide and Squeak Eggs – When my kids were younger they loved matching and sorting these eggs. Great for toddlers!

Stacking and Nesting Easter Eggs – these nesting eggs are fun and educational.

If you are looking for more fun ways to engage your kids, I highly recommend KiwiCo. As a former teacher, I was really impressed with the quality of materials found in KiwiCo. Some moms have told me that they want to do activities like I do on Mess For Less with their kids, but they just don’t have to the time to go buy all the supplies and prepare them for the activity. KiwiCo is the perfect solution. Every month your KiwiCo will focus on a particular theme like Colors, Dinosaurs or Gardening. KiwiCo offer a variety of projects ranging from crafts, imaginative play, science experiments and more.
