Easter is a notable holiday every Christian looks forward to. Maybe that’s why the month is filled with high-spirited people who aim to make the best of this holy day.
Whether you are a small family with little ones or are newlyweds hosting their families for the first time, Easter can be your day to start new traditions. You can chit-chat with your folks and play treasure hunts with the eggs. Bunnies, candies, eggs, and coloring pages, your Easter activities can be a bundle of all of these.
In this post, let us walk you through engaging activities to make your Easter celebration more interesting.
New Easter Crafts
If you know the joy of crafting bunnies or decorating eggs, you have understood what the Easter celebration means. Most activities are connected with the message of rebirth, renewal, and the incoming spring. Besides, these are amazing opportunities to bond together. And who wouldn’t love to add self-made crafts to their home decorations?
Now, let us talk about what to include in your Easter craft activities. Decorating eggs with paint, glitter, or paper cutouts is quite normal. You can also create DIY Easter baskets or color printable pages. Egg carton crafts, garlands, and wreaths are some other options.
Easter Worship Dress Shopping
Easter dresses are notably essential, and there is no denying that. These outfits are meant to honor Christ’s resurrection, presenting purity, renewal, and reverence. They speak of long-established traditions and present spiritual renewal. However, this leaves us with a question- what exactly needs to be worn?
Let us give you some tips about shopping for an Easter worship dress. Buy from whichever store you prefer, but ensure you pick something classic and modest. Colors- Go for soft shades like peach, lavender, or baby blue. Go for white hues that speak of freshness and renewal. Floral can do the magic, too. Easter bonnets are a great idea, too.
Ressurection Eggs
Resurrection eggs teach about the tale of Jesus Christ and the meaning of Easter. This includes particularly the twelve plastic eggs, which speak of every part of Easter tales, one by one. If you have children or are hosting families and friends, these eggs can make their Easter story more memorable and fun.
Besides, resurrection eggs are simple, easy to use and make learning more fun and interactive. Now, you can purchase a set of already printed eggs or craft them. If you want to include Easter crafts in your schedule, resurrection eggs might be a great idea.
Playing Egg Hunt
Who doesn’t love the boost of endorphins coming with a treasure hunt? That makes egg hunt the perfect addition to your list of to-dos during the family Easter celebration. While everyone goes to sleep, you get to work and hide the little eggs around your home. Let your homies squeal with glee and meanwhile, you decide the reward for the winner.
Now, it’s time we talk about making the egg hunt better. You can always follow a theme to make it more fun and engaging. You can incorporate other parts of the scavenger hunt into your game, for example, creating a map or hiding clues. If you’re planning a nighttime hunt, what’s a better way to execute it than using eggs that glow in the dark?
Doodling it Out
We can always call doodling a game for almost all gatherings with family and friends. So why not include that in your itinerary for Easter already? We know we have already mentioned some Easter crafts, but let us be honest! Doodling hits differently.
Plus, you can doodle on almost anything that can remind you of Easter. Printable coloring sheets, eggs, spring flowers- this can include anything. We can always count how stress-relieving and mood-boosting doodling can be. You can play it with your family, at Church gatherings, and even at your workplace. It’s innovative, interactive, and enjoyable.
Presenting Stained Glass Windows
During Easter, the stained glass windows symbolize the celebration of Christ’s resurrection. It can be another activity you can indulge in. This is great for everyone, including children from 5-7 years of age. Now, all we need to do is talk about how to execute it.
You can print the image you want to present in advance. You can get a depiction of Jesus Christ surrounded by clouds or something else. It can be anything you want to pour down. You can place the image in the laminating sheets and let others trace it down. Mark the lines with a marker, and after removing the laminating sheets, you can fill the insides.
Jelly Bean Story Bags
How about using jelly bean story bags to speak out the Easter story? How amazing is that going to be? The colors can present a different tale, which can be a part of Christ’s journey to resurrection. These bags can help little ones around you to understand the message of salvation in a simple yet easy manner.
Now, let us talk about some tips and tricks. First, get a few jelly beans in different colors, which you place in a small bag. Use a card or tag to write the jelly bean prayer. Attach it using a staple or ribbon. And there! There you have it to present as Easter gifts. Remember that these are a few simple, easy, and memorable activities, and you can include all of them easily.
