Hi Friends,
We hope you’re all well and making the best of this difficult season. And if you’ve been as busy as I've been at home, you might have forgotten that Easter is THIS weekend! It will be very different for many but it DOES NOT have to be ruined or overshadowed. We are better when we can have high hopes for the days to come and for our brothers and sisters in the midst of all this. Depending on what the weather or your available space looks like, you may need a few activities to keep the kiddos busy, especially if indoors is the only option.
So, we are giving you THREE, fun, EGGY ACTIVITIES!! You don’t need much and it will occupy the kids for a while. We have an option for an indoor (outdoor if weather permits) egg hunt with points for the competitive kiddos, an egg color hunt so kids can search for that specific color in each room/space (this can go on forever), and lastly, an easy egg coloring page for everyone! Check it out below.

The Steps
Egg Hunt With Points
Points: 1, 5, 10, & 20(empty egg)
Download and print as many sheets needed (1 sheet= 28 slips).
Cut and fold in half.
Place slip inside of egg and close.
-The kids can help with this so mama doesn’t have to do it all.
-An EMPTY egg = 20 points, so keep that in mind.
When it comes to the hunt, write down everyone’s name on a paper first and then tally up their points at the end.
That’s it!
*The winner can choose the next activity, a special treat, pick the next meal, ect.
Egg Color Hunt
Options: Hunt can be timed, Partners are OK, You can switch eggs in rooms to give new search options.
Download and print out enough sheets for each person.
Have enough pencils for each person or partner set.
Adults, place an egg or 2 in different colors or a variety of shades in those colors, in each room, depending on what you have. Each room will have its own eggs in different colors and placed somewhere easily visible.
-ie. pinks room, greens room, orange & blue room, etc.
Write what colors are in each room on the lines.
If the kids are old enough to search on their own, let them go into different rooms to search for that specific egg color and then move onto the other rooms.
Once they find items in those specific colors, they need to write them down under the correct color heading.
That’s it!
*Winners can be assigned but don’t have to. You can make up your own rules.
Easter Egg Coloring
Download and print out sheets.
Use color pencils, crayons, or markers.
Color in. You can add flowers, trees, insects, sun, etc.
Matthias was having fun :)
Micah really got into it too! Naomi’s egg on the left and mine on the right. I traced our cup to make a sun.
Matthias’ coloring wasn’t as dark but it’s there! Naomi was extra creative and created a rainbow egg, added a mound under it some wild flowers, insects and flowering vines.
Micah added cute bunnies and did an awesome job coloring! I had fun adding the layered colors, extra grass and a sun.
We made a few extra too =)
Happy crafting and happy Easter friends!
Amanda and Naomi
