Easter is right around the corner, and if you’re looking for ways to make it extra special for your little ones, you’re in the right place! From colorful egg decorating tricks to exciting scavenger hunts, these fun Easter hacks for kids will make the holiday even more magical. Get ready to create unforgettable memories with these creative and easy ideas!


1. Magical Color-Changing Eggs
One of the best parts of Easter is decorating eggs, but why settle for plain colors when you can create magical color-changing eggs?
How to Do It:
Mix baking soda, a few drops of food coloring, and a little water to make a thick paste. Apply the paste onto hard-boiled eggs. Once dry, give your child a spray bottle filled with vinegar and let them spray the eggs. Watch in amazement as the colors fizz and change! This experiment is not only a fun Easter activity but also a great way to introduce kids to a little science magic! ?
2. Glow-in-the-Dark Egg Hunt
Take your classic Easter egg hunt to the next level by making it a glow-in-the-dark adventure!
How to Do It:
Crack open plastic eggs and place small glow sticks inside before sealing them. Hide them around the yard or house as the sun sets. Hand out baskets and let the kids hunt for glowing treasures! This is an absolute hit with kids of all ages and adds an exciting twist to the traditional Easter egg hunt.
3. Bunny Footprint Trail
Want to convince the kids that the Easter Bunny really visited? Create a magical bunny footprint trail leading to their Easter baskets! ??
How to Do It:
Cut out a bunny paw print stencil from cardboard. Sprinkle baby powder or flour over the stencil and lift it carefully. Make a trail from the door to their Easter baskets. The look of pure joy on their faces when they see the bunny footprints is priceless!
4. Edible Easter Grass
Forget plastic Easter grass—make it edible and delicious instead!
How to Do It:
Use shredded coconut and mix it with a few drops of green food coloring. Spread it out on a tray and let it dry. Use it as a nest in Easter baskets or to decorate cupcakes and desserts. It’s a fun and tasty alternative that kids will love munching on! ????
5. Melted Crayon Egg Decorating
Ditch the traditional dye kits and try this super cool melted crayon technique!
How to Do It:
Boil eggs and let them cool slightly, but keep them warm. Peel the paper off old crayons and let kids gently rub them onto the warm eggs. Watch as the wax melts into beautiful, colorful patterns! Not only does this method create stunning eggs, but it’s also mess-free compared to dyeing!
6. Surprise Treat Eggs
Make egg cracking extra fun with these chocolate-filled surprise eggs!
How to Do It:
Carefully poke a hole in the bottom of raw eggs and drain out the inside (save for cooking!). Rinse and let them dry completely. Melt chocolate and pour it inside the eggshell. Refrigerate until solid, then peel away the shell. Now, when kids crack their eggs, they’ll find delicious chocolate inside! ????
7. Easter Bingo Game
Turn Easter celebrations into an exciting game with Easter Bingo!
How to Do It:
Print out Easter-themed Bingo cards (with pictures of bunnies, eggs, chicks, etc.). Use jelly beans or mini chocolates as Bingo markers. The first to get five in a row wins a special Easter prize! This game keeps kids entertained while they wait for the egg hunt to begin!
8. DIY Easter Basket from a Milk Jug
Want to make a creative and eco-friendly Easter basket? Try this fun craft!
How to Do It:
Cut the top off a plastic milk jug, leaving the handle intact. Let kids paint and decorate the outside with stickers, ribbons, and markers. Fill it with Easter treats and goodies! It’s an easy and fun craft that doubles as a handy Easter basket! ????
9. Easter Pancake Art
Make breakfast extra special with Easter-themed pancakes! ??
How to Do It:
Mix your pancake batter as usual. Use a squeeze bottle to “draw” bunny and egg shapes on the pan. Add food coloring for fun, vibrant designs. Kids will love these playful pancakes, and it’s a great way to start Easter morning on a fun note!
10. Marshmallow Peep S’mores
Give a festive twist to the classic s’mores by using Peeps marshmallows instead of regular ones!
How to Do It:
Place a Peeps marshmallow between two graham crackers with a piece of chocolate. Microwave for about 10 seconds until gooey. Enjoy a colorful and delicious Easter treat! These ooey-gooey delights are an absolute crowd-pleaser!
