With Easter right around the corner, it’s time to hop into the spirit with fun, creative, and delightfully unexpected activities. Whether you’re planning a backyard egg hunt or just want some festive flair at home, here are some sure to bring a smile activities and tips to make this Easter a hopping good time.
Egg Dyeing
Get crafty with your egg dyeing methods. Forget the traditional vinegar bath—for dyeing eggs, try swirling them in whipped cream or shaving cream with food dye. It’s a sensory experience and the marbled effect is absolutely stunning. Want less mess? Grab a ziplock bag. Add a scoop of rice, a few drops of food dye, and shake it all up with an egg inside—one for each color to keep things bright and clean.
For an aromatic twist, use Kool-Aid as dye—it’s vibrant, smells sweet, and doubles as a chemistry lesson. If little hands are involved, consider placing eggs in a whisk—yes, putting eggs into a whisk for them to dip makes for a perfect grip and prevents splashes.

Don’t miss the bunny headband coloring page printable—an adorable crown for every aspiring Easter bunny. Print and color the Bunny Ear Headband (want the ears to stand well; try gluing or stapling light cardboard or popsicle sticks to the back).
Another charming idea involves making finger print chicks and bunnys—simply use finger print as body and draw on features like faces, ears and feet. It’s a delightful blend of mess and magic, perfect for curious little artists.
And to hop even further down the festive trail, print out the two bunny feet printables, one you can customize with a photo of your child’s face. It’s a keepsake-worthy creation that captures childhood wonder in every step. Print and add your child foot footprints to the Bunnies (Laminate or contact paper will help preserve them).


These Easter activities turn ordinary afternoons into memory-making moments filled with laughter and color.
