Don’t Let Quarantine Cancel the Fun of Easter!
Hop to it! School and activities may be cancelled, but no one can take away the fun surrounding a holiday like Easter. Knowing we will all be social distancing and celebrating Easter with our immediate families, we compiled this list of activities you can do with your family at home, or some you can do virtually with friends afar.
1. Paint Rocks or Wooden Easter Eggs || Find some rocks around the neighborhood, or order some wooden eggs (hard to find locally right now) and pull out your favorite art medium, such as watercolors, markers, oil pastels... or glitter. With real eggs in high demand, this is the perfect eco-conscious activity for families with little ones, and we’ve found some great inspiration here. Plus, next year when you pull then out you’ll have a colorful memory of Easter 2020 (although, maybe you’ll want to forget).
2. Easter Egg Scavenger Hunt || Flip it in reverse this year. Give your kids a few plastic eggs and send them off to fill them with whatever they can find in Mother Nature.
3. Easter Dice Game on Zoom | Schedule time with family anywhere in the world and play a round (or two) of a fun dice game. Have a die for each player, one Golden Egg (with the best candy, or even $ in it!), and a filled egg for every other player. We love THESE PRINTABLE CARDS. Have one person roll at a time, and see who gets the golden egg!
4. Jelly Bean Sort || Give each player the same number of jelly beans in an assortment of colors, with one cup or bowl for each color. The first person to sort their jelly beans correctly wins! (this could also be done on Zoom!)
5. Basket Ribbon Hunt || Have little ones at home that are expecting the Easter bunny? Tie a ribbon or string on their bedpost and make them chase it through the house to where their basket is hiding. Bonus points if you multiple kids and their ribbons cross paths!
6. DIY Easter Bunny Bag Toss || Convert one of the (hundreds of) boxes you’ve received at your doorstep these last few weeks into a bag toss! Use this inspiration to draw and cut some holes, and use a thick market to do all of the drawings. You can also simplify the bags by using (small) socks and raw beans inside.
We aren’t going to let COVID-19 ruin one of our favorite holidays, and hopefully these activities and fun ensure you all have fun too! Please share with your friends and tag us in your fun to be featured! Happy Easter!
