There will be egg hunts and Sunday brunch in many homes this weekend; but here are 7 Easter activities that may not be in the plans…
7 Easter Activities for Kids

#5. Recreate the scene of the Resurrection in a tangible way, by making an Easter Garden with the kids. Much of the supplies used by A Holy Experience could be found in your backyard, which means you can enjoy the beautiful spring weather, too.
#6. Carisa’s kids found a fun surprise in their Easter-themed watercolor painting.
#7. Speaking of surprises, this yummy treat has an unexpected ending in store for the kids. Check out Eat at Allie’s to get the recipe.
As you are planning your family’s Easter celebration this weekend, pick out a new activity to try with the kids. I really like the puzzle piece egg hunt and the “Jesus covers our sins” cross activity. Of course, both of those would require that I get to the craft store… so, maybe we’ll be scavenging the backyard and building an Easter Garden, instead.
