Spring and Easter Activity Ideas

Easter is during one of the most magical times of year, so why not “shine” on that with this sun art Easter craft made from nature! I just love the way you can see all the tiny details of plants and flowers when the sun shines through, especially when they create even more art by how they overlap. This craft could be “easier” with the right items – I just used clear packing tape, but I may update this post later if I try it again with my laminator instead. … Read more

We ended up using some houseplant leaves, others used strawberry tops or other indoor nature … Read more

Have you wanted to include those popular “Peep” Easter marshmallows in your festives while also including nature? Then you’ll love this Nature Built Peep House kids activity!

So, I hope you’ll enjoy this quick and creative Easter themed nature activity… to build a house for one! Get creative using the “My … Read more

My kids are FINALLY old enough to help me (still working on not drowning the plants though… HAH!) and I wanted to teach them how to use things like charts and such, so I created a watering and growth tracker for their plants!

I am REALLY loving all the Easter crafts this year, especially since my preschooler can actually do some of them now, and after seeing all the fun he’s had with my Easter Bunny Egg roll, I wanted to make a smaller version… so the Easter Bunny Jelly Bean MUNCH craft was born! Kids just looooove pretending that something is eating something else, and I definitely remember loving that too as a kid! I would cover up all my plastic animals with clay then have my toy dinosaurs eat the “meat” … Read more

If you’re looking for ways to involve even the youngest toddlers in the Easter festivities, look no further than the Easter Egg Bean Bag Toss Game!

I’ve been trying to brainstorm fun Easter games that can … Read more
