Who says Easter has to be all about chocolate? Not my little explorer! While others dive into chocolate bunnies, we’re busy concocting a world of non-chocolate wonders that light up his Easter with giggles and surprises.
Join the adventure of flipping the script on chocolate Easter traditions, where a whimsical journey proves that a hoppy, happy Easter can be just as sweet without a single chocolate bunny in sight!
Here are some ideas to make Easter special for them:
Non-Chocolate Treats: Instead of chocolate eggs, fill Easter baskets with non-chocolate treats like small toys, stickers, colorful pencils, erasers, or other age-appropriate goodies. You can also include healthy snacks like dried fruits or nuts. My little boy loves the following: mentos, gummies, marshmallows, sour lollies and the like.
Egg Decorating Fiesta: Transform your space into a vibrant egg decorating fiesta! Set up colourful stations with paints, markers, glitter, and stickers. Let the kids unleash their creativity as they decorate eggs with Easter-themed designs, from cute bunnies to colourful patterns. Incorporate some autumn elements by including leaf-shaped stickers or adding real leaves to your pictures.
DIY Bunny Ears & Crafty Chick Hats: Get crafty with a DIY costume session featuring bunny ears and chick hats! Provide materials like colourful felt, feathers, pipe cleaners, and headbands. Let the kids use their imagination to create their own festive headwear, whether it’s fluffy bunny ears or chirpy chick hats. Encourage your kids to add autumn-inspired accents for a seasonal touch.
Easter Egg Hunt with Alternative Treats: Plan an Easter egg hunt using plastic eggs filled with non-food items such as small toys, coins, or even puzzle pieces that lead to a larger prize. Instead of chocolate, use jelly beans and gummies. Make the hunt more exciting by hiding the eggs in different locations around your home or backyard.
Outdoor Activities: If weather permits, plan outdoor activities such as a nature scavenger hunt, a spring-themed relay race, or simply a picnic in the park. Enjoying the fresh air and sunshine can make Easter feel even more magical. Why not decorate rocks and leave them in parks for others to find, it is a fun craft and outdoor activity.
Story Time: Gather the kids for a special Easter-themed story time session. Choose books that celebrate the spirit of Easter, whether they’re about bunnies, chicks, or the importance of kindness and sharing.
Planting Seeds: Teach the kids about the symbolism of new life and growth associated with Easter by planting seeds together. You can plant flowers or vegetables in pots or a small garden patch and watch them grow.
Family Traditions: Incorporate your own family traditions into the Easter celebration. Whether it’s attending a religious service, preparing a special meal together, or watching a favourite Easter movie, these traditions can make the day feel more meaningful.
Easter-themed Picnic & Games: Enjoy the crisp autumn air with an Easter-themed picnic and outdoor games! Pack a picnic basket with delicious treats like sandwiches, fruit skewers, and homemade cookies. Set up classic picnic games like sack races, egg and spoon races, or three-legged races for some friendly competition.
Eggcellent Science Experiments: Spark curiosity and wonder with egg-citing Easter-themed science experiments! Try activities like the classic egg drop challenge or egg geodes. Explore the concept of buoyancy by designing and testing egg boats in a makeshift water basin.
Easter Bunny Hop Dance Party: Get the party hopping with an Easter Bunny Hop Dance Party! Create a playlist featuring upbeat Easter-themed tunes and popular dance hits. Encourage everyone to bust out their best dance moves, from the bunny hop to the chicken dance.
With this mix of activities, you’ll create a magical Easter celebration that blends the joy of the season with festive Easter traditions. Enjoy the festivities and cherish the special moments spent with family and friends!
