With Easter fast approaching it’s likely that your little one is buzzing with excitement about Easter Egg hunts and a delicious Easter brunch. Through the week and on Easter Day, why not take some time out to engage in some fun Easter activities? As well as engaging their gross and fine motor skills, it will be a great bonding experience and an opportunity to tell them about why we celebrate Easter. Celebrating cultural festivals strengthens a child’s sense of identity and encourages them to be welcoming of and sensitive to diversity.

Toilet Roll Bunnies

Recycle old toilet paper rolls to create toilet roll bunnies with your children. They’re incredibly simple to make and will engage your child’s fine motor skills as they roll wrapping paper around the toilet paper rolls and stick on googly eyes. They make for adorable ornaments and your little one will feel proud everytime she or he sees it! Get directions here.

Colourful Easter Eggs

It’s not really Easter without a bunch of dyed Easter eggs. It’s simple to make them; all you need are eggs, food colouring and a white crayon or candle. This project will engage your little ones’ curiousity as they mix and match colours and see food colouring dye water.

Easter Egg Bath Bombs

After your Easter celebrations you may be in need of a long hot bath, so before Easter make some bath bombs with your child. Measuring out ingredients will engage their numeracy and literacy skills and they’ll be super excited to take baths after this! Since these are homemade, you can be assured that the ingredients are non-toxic. Find the instructions here.
