Hippity, hoppity, Easter is on its way! We’ve had a pretty mild winter here in the Midwest this year, but I’m still excited for spring to begin and to see pastel colors and bunnies everywhere I look. Signs of warmer weather are very welcome right now, even to this sweater-loving girl.

Fun Easter Ideas for Families

1. Almond Sugar Easter Cookies

These Almond Sugar Cookies from Tastes of Lizzy T are the perfect treat for an Easter celebration. The kiddos are sure to love their bright, fun colors, and they’re a great sweet treat to enjoy along with jelly beans.

2. Easter Egg Countdown and Free Printables

Countdown to Easter with this cute display of plastic eggs! As far as fun Easter games go, this one was one of my kids’ favorites.

Each day, we’d open an egg in anticipation of Easter to discover a different prize or treat inside. Some eggs were stuffed with paper that would instruct us to either pray for someone or do a special Easter-themed activity.

As far as Easter activities for families go, this one can really let your creativity run wild! You could fill each egg with a different clue for a scavenger hunt, quotes from the Bible, cards for charades, and you could even use them as resurrection eggs and leave the last one an empty egg to talk about Jesus and the tomb being empty.

The ways you can use this are truly endless so get some construction paper and get started!
