Have An Easter Egg Hunt
This one is a classic- with endless possibilities, throwing an egg hunt is one of the fan favorites. You can host an easter egg hunt with minimal effort or go all out for something the whole family will remember. In addition to the traditional take on candy in an egg, you can turn it into a scavenger hunt where hints are left for family members to follow. You can even go as far as doing it in a public place and make it an unforgettable event for the whole family. Whether you go big or you simply leave chocolate eggs around the yard, Easter egg hunts are the perfect way to kick off Easter morning.
Decorate Easter Eggs
Time to get in touch with your crafty side! Dipping eggs is something many families look forward to each year. Get those hard boiled eggs ready for decorating and create some masterpieces to show off on Easter. You can opt for simple dip kits with classic colors or go for something more intricate like metallic or tie dye. You can simply paint the eggs free hand or draw on them as well for a more personalized look. This is a great activity for all ages and will get you in the mood for this fun holiday.
