Unlike every year, this year Easter’s got to be different. In the wake of the ongoing pandemic, all of us are stuck indoors. But that doesn’t mean, we are going to let it fade away fun and excitement of our kids. To keep up with the spirit of the holiday, these are some of the activities that we can do indoors.

Paint Easter Eggs

If you had brought the easter egg-dyeing-kit in the previous year’s clearance, great for you; even if you don’t have the kit, there is good alternative you can do at home. Take some of the eggs from your pantry, hard-boil them and get some food coloring dyes that you already have and you are good to paint your eggs. You can also have your kids use any other artsy-crafty decorative stuff including markers, glue, glitter etc. to make their Easter eggs more attractive.

Get Easter Game Booklets

These booklets are a fun way to keep kids engaged with interesting games including word search, puzzles, mazes, scramble etc. If you don’t have these at your disposal, you can easily get similar printable activity sheet online and have some mind boggling fun at home.

Do the Bunny Hop

Get your kids moving and ready to stretch by doing an indoor bunny hop. All you need to do is play the music and get them set and go. You can also add variations to the bunny hop by making them hold spoons in their mouth with egg on it so that it doesn’t fall or even tying the feet of two of the players and see which duo finish the race first.

Bake Easter Egg Pops

Now this one is also super fun as it not only involves your kids to a good deal but also let them have a sweet treat in the end. All you need to get is a plain cake (or bake it if you don’t already have it), some butter cream, candy melts or icing mix, edible stuff to decorate and pop sticks. Crumble plain cake and mix some butter cream to it so that it is easier to set them in sticks. Make some egg shaped balls out of that cake and butter cream mix and insert them in pop sticks. Now, decorate with whatever you have at home. A good idea is to first cover it with chocolate melts and decorate with sprinkles, candies, gummies, colored icing or any other stuff you have at home.

Make Easter Art

Make some easter themed art —from flowers to bunnies to eggs. Get easter themed printable from your printer and get it coloured or let them draw and paint signs of spring or bunny cartoons. Each one of it is going to give them real fun and a true spirit of the holiday.

Do an Indoor Egg Hunt

Not going out doesn’t mean that you have to sacrifice your egg hunt. Hide easter eggs at different places in your house and let the kids get into some action. You can fill these eggs with some sweet treats or even with hilarious and fun activities just to say “Quack like a duck” or “Do 5 jumping jacks” or “Hug your pet”. This not only gets your child moving and shaking but also have an action filled Easter.

Prepare an Easter Gift Basket

Prepare an interesting gift basket for your kids. It’s completely optional for you to add anything of your choice or whatever you have at your disposal. Get some interesting goodies including games, sweets, fruits, books or coffee to make a memorable gift basket.

Play Easter Bingo

Easter Bingo is played just like the regular bingo. Just that, instead of the numbers on the bingo cards, there are Easter themed pictures (in different order for each player). Similar pictures are also cut out and on each turn a picture is announced by the caller. Buttons or pennies can be used to mark the spots. The players getting their spaces covered vertically, diagonally or horizontally win prizes.

Do Easter Crafts

Make adorable bunnies from toilet paper roll or out of paper plates or disposable cups. There are thousands of other ideas you can creatively use with your kids to make Easter crafts.

Have Easter themed Play-dough Activity or a Lego Challenge

Assign your kids activities to make Easter themed stuff including eggs, flowers, bunnies, vase, butterflies, ladybugs using play dough. You can also give the same challenge using legos if your kids are lego lovers. The idea is just to have lots and lots of fun!
