There doesn’t have to be a lot involved in a “Toddler Easter Egg Hunt” because toddlers don’t need the eggs to be hidden like older kids do. You can just place several brightly colored eggs out in the grass and toddlers will have a blast collecting them.
In addition to the traditional egg hunt, there are several other activities that we can do with our toddlers during the Easter celebrations. Let’s look at some ideas:
Construction Paper Eggs
Using several colored sheets of construction paper, cut out large eggs and allow your toddler to decorate them. Keep it simple by allowing them to use crayons or markers to decorate the egg. If you are so inclined, use other color paper confetti, cut from the remnants of construction paper, and glue the confetti onto the egg. You could even get a picture of your child to glue onto the egg or draw their handprint if you intend to keep the egg for a scrapbook or album.
Painted Plastic Eggs
Using the plastic eggs from the egg hunt, turn them into a craft project by allowing your toddler to decorate them with markers or paints. Make sure each is child safe ink. Help your child by showing them how to hold the egg on top and bottom and color on the sides of the egg. You can also use stickers to decorate the eggs.
Make an Easter Album
Using cardstock or construction paper, help your toddler make an Easter Album or Mini Scrapbook. You can use full size sheets or cut them in half or quarter sheets. Use hole punch to punch holes in the paper and then tie together with ribbon, string or yarn.
You can let your toddler color the pages, trace their hand, allow them to decorate with stickers or add photos to the pages. Using your own creativity, offer them different options to decorate their album. If you don’t want to keep it for yourself, consider giving it to a grandparent who would love to receive such a thoughtful gift from their grandchild.
