We love celebrating Easter with hands-on activities that encourage creativity, problem-solving, and social interaction. Whether at home or in the classroom, these fun Easter activities are perfect for engaging kindergarten children in meaningful play and learning!
- Easter Egg Hunt with a Twist
Instead of just hiding eggs, add clues or simple math challenges inside them. Children must solve a riddle or count to a certain number before moving on to the next egg!
- DIY Easter Bunny Masks
Using paper plates, cotton balls, and pipe cleaners, children can create their own bunny masks. This fun craft encourages fine motor skills and imaginative play.
- Carrot Counting Game
Cut out paper carrots and label them with numbers. Children can match them with the correct number of pom-poms or buttons, reinforcing number recognition.
- Easter-Themed Sensory Bin
Fill a bin with colorful rice, plastic eggs, and small Easter toys. Let children explore different textures while searching for hidden surprises!
- Bunny Hop Obstacle Course
Set up a simple obstacle course where children must hop like a bunny through tunnels, over cushions, and around cones. This helps develop coordination and balance.
- Handprint Chick Craft
Using yellow paint, children can create adorable handprint chicks on paper. Add googly eyes and an orange beak for a fun keepsake!
- Easter Story Time and Puppet Show
Read an Easter-themed book like We’re Going on an Egg Hunt or Peter Rabbit. Then, let children create their own puppets and retell the story in their own words.
- Jellybean Sorting and Graphing
Give children a handful of colourful jellybeans and ask them to sort them by colour. Older children can create simple bar graphs to count how many of each colour they have!
- Nature-Based Easter Egg Painting
Take a nature walk and collect small leaves and flowers. Use them as stencils to decorate Easter eggs with natural patterns using non-toxic paint.
- Easter-Themed Freeze Dance
Play fun music and have children dance like bunnies, chicks, or hopping eggs! When the music stops, they must freeze in place. This is a great way to burn energy while developing listening skills.
