Easter Activities:

Egg cup fine motor activity

I found these little egg holders at target (here are some similar ones), and I knew they would make the perfect fine motor activity. Place some plastic eggs on a tray and provide your toddler with some tongs. Have your toddler use the tongs to transfer the eggs from the tray to the egg holder. Younger toddlers likely won’t be able to use the tongs, but it’s still a challenging fine motor skill activity using just their hands!

Color Sorting Eggs

We also made this activity into a color sorting activity by putting some colored stickers into a muffin tin. My toddler used the tongs to transfer the eggs to the correct colored spot in the muffin tin. This is a great addition to your Easter eggs activities preschool kids will love!

Find and Count Sensory Bin

I love this sensory bin because of how low mess it is…just make sure you use the paper Easter grass and not the plastic-y Easter grass. I found some cute Easter erasers at target and put them into eggs. I placed the Easter grass and these eggs into a bin. When my toddler would find an egg she would open it and count the erasers inside the egg. My toddlers LOVED this bin because they were given free rein to open and close the eggs over and over.

Easter games with eggs:

Easter Puzzles

These Easter puzzles are perfect for your older toddlers (I’d say probably 2.5+). The way this activity works is you separate some Easter eggs into their halves. Your toddler will pick a puzzle card and try to create the egg by finding the correct colored top and the correct colored bottom. I found for my toddler it was easier for me to keep the tops and the bottoms separated at first until she started realizing how the eggs snapped together. This is a great critical thinking game for toddlers (and you can use lots of great vocabulary while they work: top, bottom, half, whole, colors)

Gross motor challenge eggs

If you have an egg-hunt-obsessed toddler this game is for you! Print out the gross motor challenge strips and put them inside eggs. Hide the eggs and let your toddler find them. When they find an egg, open it and complete the gross motor challenge! This has been one of our FAVORITE Easter eggs activities preschool and toddler aged kids!

Popsicle sticks cross

Read the story of Jesus’ resurrection with your toddlers then make a cross out of popsicle sticks as a reminder to your toddler that Jesus is the reason we celebrate Easter. This is my favorite toddler Bible. It has great toddler language and actionable tips for parents!

Craft with Plastic Easter Eggs:

Decorate with markers/paint

Use washable paint to decorate your plastic Easter eggs. My toddlers loved this because it quickly became finger painting. The best part, you can rinse the paint off the eggs and let your toddler do it over and over!

Use eggs to paint to make bunnies and chicks, peeps as stamp

Image shows a craft with plastic Easter eggs and peeps. 2 circles are shown to look like chicks with googly eyes, a triangle beak, and feat. 3 Peep shaped bunnies are shown with pom poms for their tails. — If you’re looking for an adorable Easter craft with plastic Easter eggs, then try making these chicks and bunnies!

Oh my goodness, these chicks and bunnies are the cutest things…and they’re the perfect guided craft for your toddler! Use one half of a plastic Easter egg and dip it in paint. Let your toddler use it as a stamp to create circles on their paper. Let your toddler add googly eyes (These are my favorite…because they adhere like stickers!) then draw some feet and a beak. These chicks are adorable!

For the bunnies, we used peeps as a stamp. My toddlers dipped the peep into paint and stamped it on their paper. (Then, we ate the rest of the peeps package because we are peep lovers in our house!)

Dying Easter Eggs:

Shake in rice

Image shows a fun way to add egg dying to your Easter experiences for toddlers. Pink bunny egg holder at top with a tupperware with lentils and a boiled egg. — One of our favorite Easter experiences is dying eggs. Make it fun for your toddler too by letting them shake their eggs in rice or lentils to dye them!

When my toddlers were almost 1 and 2.5, this is how we chose to dye Easter eggs, and it worked out perfectly! I put some lentils (rice would work too!) into a small Tupperware. We added some drops of food coloring and a little bit of vinegar. Then we placed a boiled egg in the Tupperware. I put the lid on and let my toddlers shake. The eggs got colored and had a cool design on them from the lentils. It was great because I felt like the mess was a little more contained…and my 1-year-old was easily able to participate!

Color Mixing

Dying Eggs is the perfect time to introduce color mixing! I made cups with red, yellow, and blue dye. My toddler would drop an egg in a cup, then I would say “I wonder what will happen if we put it in ____ next?”. It was such a great experiment and it showed her how colors are made right before her eyes!
