Easy and Fun Easter Activities Ideas

Toddlers have a unique mix of interest, freshly discovered freedom, thoughtfulness, and chaos. These simple Easter activities will allow your babies to investigate their curiosity and creativity and work on fundamental skills like hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills.

Glow in the dark Easter Egg Hunt

Setting up a glow in the dark Easter egg hunt is so simple and is bound to be be enjoyed by the whole family.
You will require:
Glow stick bracelets
Easter egg fillers
Huge plastic eggs

To Set Up Your Easter Egg Hunt:

Start by activating and gathering the glow stick bracelets.
Place them into huge plastic eggs alongside a treat or prize.
Seal the eggs, and you are good to go!
Hide the eggs outside just after dark, and afterward, have the children proceed to discover them!

Marshmallow Slime

You can call it both slime and play dough. It's not quite slimy, but it isn't quite play dough either. Regardless of the name, it's a great science and sensory experience for the toddlers (and you!).
Marshmallow Slime Directions:
Place the marshmallows in a microwave-safe bowl.
Add one tablespoon of coconut oil to the bowl.
Put the bowl in the microwave for 30 seconds.
Remove the bowl from the microwave and mix the ingredients.
Add three to five tablespoons of cornstarch.
The mixture will be quite sticky but will reduce as you add the cornstarch.
Once the cornstarch is mixed in well, form the marshmallow slime into a ball.
Now that your marshmallow playdough is complete, it's time to play!

Easter Sensory Bin

This giant tangible bin will help keep the grass, and Easter fun contained and let your little one dump, toss, and play the entire day!

Plastic Tub
Easter Grass

You can put pretty much anything which will help your child explore their senses into this Easter sensory bin.
