Hop & Hunt Challenge

This Easter-themed game is packed with movement, laughter, and a little silliness—perfect for burning energy and getting kids giggling!

• Plastic Easter eggs
• Small action cards or slips of paper
• Baskets or bags for collecting eggs

How to Set It Up:
Write fun movement challenges on cards (like “Do a squat” or “Touch your toes”) and tuck one inside each plastic egg. Hide the eggs around your house or yard and give each child a basket.

How to Play:
As kids find eggs, they open them right away and must complete the action inside before continuing their hunt. You can let kids take turns, do the moves together, or even turn it into a race!

Sample Action Prompts:

• Stand on one leg
• Hop like a bunny 5 times
• Spin in a circle
• Do big arm circles
• Clap your hands 10 times
• Pat your head and rub your belly

Add a Twist:

• Use music to set the mood
• Color-code eggs for different skill levels
• Add a timer for quick challenges

The Hop & Hunt Challenge is a great way to combine a traditional egg hunt with active play. Kids will have so much fun, they won’t even realize they’re working on balance, coordination, and motor skills!

Easter Egg Letter Hunt

This Easter egg letter hunt is a super fun and simple activity that kids will love! It’s perfect for learning through play—and it gets everyone moving.

• Foam Sticker Letters 
• Plastic Eggs
• Paper or Poster Board

Start by filling plastic Easter eggs with foam sticker letters—one letter per egg works great. If you don’t have 26 eggs, no worries! Just pop a few letters into each egg.

Foam sticker letters are awesome because kids can stick them straight onto paper or a poster. But if you don’t have those, you can use magnetic letters, foam letters with tape, or even small pieces of card with letters written on them.

Now hide the eggs around your yard or inside the house. Give each child an Easter basket, then send them on their letter hunt! This is the part they’ll love the most.

Why It’s Great

As they find eggs, kids open them to see what letter they’ve got. Then they match each letter to a printable alphabet sheet. You’ll love watching them learn as they go!

Want to switch things up? Try hiding numbers, shapes, or colors instead of letters. You could even focus just on the letters in your child’s name for a personalized twist.

This Easter egg letter hunt combines movement, fun, and learning all in one. It's the perfect Easter activity for kids—and it’s super easy to set up!

Easter Egg Rescue: A Fun Fine Motor Game

Need a quick and fun indoor activity for little ones? Try this Easter Egg Rescue game! It’s a hands-on sensory bin that’s perfect for toddlers and preschoolers.

Kid-Approved
One toddler tester gave it two thumbs up! She loved the colorful setup, but ended up using her hands instead of the spoon—and had a blast doing it.
