Celebrating Easter doesn’t have to entail hopping around to various events. Easter is a great time to celebrate with your family, and there are plenty of cute Easter activities for families to do at home. Whether you’re a group who loves being in the kitchen, you want something a little more active, or you’re happy to snuggle up on the couch and throw on a movie, these family Easter activities AT HOME will have you feeling the joy of the holiday.
Let’s hop to the various ways we can make this occasion fun for the family:
Decorate your home style- take inspiration from Pinterest and shop around your home to create an Easter vibe with pastels, burlap and fake floral arrangements. Use materials you have at hand to bring this holiday to life from the comfort of your home.
Have an egg hunt- hide or scatter the candy/toy-filled eggs in your yard and let the fun begin. Consider variations like hiding a golden ticket for each child to find. Something I’m doing this year after the traditional egg hunt is over is a role reversal of sorts. My kids will then hide note-filled eggs in and around my house for me to find. These can be anything from uplifting messages to greetings to wishes to requests.
Prep for an in-home scavenger hunt-plant clues around your home and let your kids solve these to get to the big prize – the Easter basket filled with goodies. Use this video as inspiration for set up and clues.
Play Easter games-staying home with family calls for innumerable game nights. Easter should be no different. Try a jelly bean spoon race or Easter bingo. All that and more can be found here.
Set up a spring tablescape-gather around the table for an Easter brunch with pastel tableware. Create a fresh spring look with simple floral arrangements down the center to really make the table bloom. Have fun with sweet pastels to create a heartwarming table setting your family will appreciate. Add in a cookie decorating session with the family.
Establish a new Easter tradition- set up a springtime picnic in your backyard, watch an Easter movie with your choice of candy, or make a pillow fort for all the kids and plush bunnies in your home.
Use these ideas to celebrate Easter without leaving your home, and enjoy fun family conversations and take trips down memory lanes and remember how to indulge in simple joys like the Easter season.
