Easter is a time of renewal, joy, and vibrant celebrations. Among the many ways to enjoy this refreshing season, Easter crafts and activities stand out, especially for families and educators looking to infuse creativity and color into their celebrations.
Color powder isn’t just for Holi or color runs; with its brilliant colors and super easy cleanup, it’s great for Easter crafts and activities, giving children a unique way to experience this year’s Easter.
With a few materials and a little planning, you can be sure your Easter celebration will be one to remember, for kids of all ages.
Powder Paint Easter Egg DecoratingLet kids paint their Easter eggs with color powder mixed with clear school glue. Mix cups of individual colors together or mix colors to create custom blends.
Materials needed:
Hide plastic Easter eggs filled with color powder around the yard or park. Then release the kids to go hunting for them, filling up their baskets. When all the eggs are found, gather in an open area for a playful fight with the color powder found in the eggs.
Materials needed:
Make or purchase a big piñata in the shape of an Easter egg and fill it with treats, toys, and color powder. Hang the pinata from a tree branch or a ceiling, where it can swing freely. The children take turns trying to hit the piñata with a stick or a bat.
Before their turn, the player is blindfolded to increase the challenge. To add to the difficulty, the blindfolded player might be spun around a few times. The disorientation makes finding and hitting the piñata more challenging.
The player is then guided towards the piñata and given a chance to swing at it a set number of times (usually two or three) in an attempt to break it open. The game continues until the piñata is successfully broken, releasing the goodies inside as players rush to claim their prizes.
Materials needed:
Set up a bowling alley in the yard, improvised with spray-painted empty plastic bottles as pins and plastic Easter eggs filled with color powder as balls for bowling.
Players take turns rolling the eggs at the pins to try and knock them over; with every hit, there’s a color explosion of color powder.
Materials needed:
Provide plain white T-shirts and color powder in squeeze bottles to players. Help kids fold and twist shirts into different patterns, applying the color powder to create vibrant designs for tie-dye. Spray the designs thoroughly with white vinegar, let them dry, and you have shirts your kids can be proud to wear for Easter.
Materials needed:
Easter Color Powder Egg TossFill plastic Easter eggs with color powder mixed with shaving foam. Have kids get in partners and take turns throwing the eggs at each other, trying to catch them without breaking. When an egg breaks, the powder inside bursts out in a vibrant cloud of color!
Materials needed:
The traditional egg-and-spoon race with a splash of color! Children run from the starting line to the finish line, each carrying a plastic (or hollow natural) Easter egg filled with color powder on their spoons. If an egg tumbles, it bursts with color, creating another fun aspect of the race.
Materials needed:
For toddlers, the Easter season is a particularly exciting time as they explore the newly colorful world around them. From the soft touch of color powder paint to the thrill of an egg hunt, these activities are tailored to foster learning, exploration, and, most importantly, fun in a safe and engaging way.
Add to the whimsy of Easter morning fun by cutting out bunny footprints from cardboard and dipping them in color powder. Then make a trail of these colorful footprints to where the Easter baskets have been placed or to the area prepared for various Easter activities.
Materials needed:
Easter Egg Splatter ArtLay large sheets of paper or canvas in the yard. Use spray adhesive to create a color powder catching canvas.
Let children throw plastic Easter eggs dipped in different shades of color powders onto the paper to make a lively splatter picture. This messy but fun activity simply lets the children be creative and make Easter-related masterpieces.
Materials needed:
Find an incline outside, preferably with a not very steep slope but a long one. Use the chalk (or extra color powder) to outline an egg-rolling course. Fill plastic eggs with color powder and use a push pin to make holes for the powder to escape. Have the children roll the eggs down the slope, making patterns of different colors as they go.
Materials needed:
Fill large plastic bins with rice, dried beans, and sensory beads, and hide plastic Easter eggs filled with color powder in them.
Children carefully rummage in the sensory bins to find the eggs, break them open, and then mix color powder packets with the contents of the sensory materials to create colorful, textured sensory experiences.
Materials needed:
These activities will not only provide a canvas for artistic expression but also opportunities for learning, bonding, and creating lasting memories. They remind us that with a pinch of color, any simple activity can transform into an extraordinary adventure.
