1. Easter Egg Hunt
The Easter egg hunt is a classic Easter activity that kids of all ages love. To set up an egg hunt, hide eggs all over your yard or home (or even at a park or playground). Fill the eggs with candy, small toys, or other treats. Then, let the kids loose to find all the eggs!
2. Easter Bunny Hunt
If you want to add a little bit of a challenge to your egg hunt, try an Easter bunny hunt. Instead of hiding eggs, hide pictures of bunnies. The kids will have to use their clues to find all the bunnies.

Easter egg decorating is another fun activity for kids. You can either hard-boil eggs and let the kids decorate them, or you can use plastic eggs. There are all sorts of different ways to decorate eggs, so get creative and let the kids have fun with it.
