Here are some fun Easter activities to do at home with the little ones! Remember to eat healthy and be active today!

1. Do a traditional Easter egg hunt in your yard but put nuts or Easter stickers inside the eggs instead of chocolate and candy.
2. Get out your fingerpaints! You can make little baby chicks using your thumbprints as their body. Try making an Easter bunny with your fingerprints as his ears.
3. Read an Easter story together.
4. Make Easter bunny ears using a headband and construction paper.
5. Draw Easter cards for family and friends. Inside, write an Easter poem or write a cute saying like ”Somebunny wanted to say, ‘Happy Easter!’”
6. Print out some Easter coloring pages from a website such as this one: http://www.coloring-page.net/easter.html
7. Cut out 10 Easter eggs out of thick white paper. Divide the eggs into 5 pairs. Each pair should be decorated the same way. Then, mix them up and place them in 2 rows of 5 face down. Play the memory game.
8. Have a bunny hop race with the whole family.
