Easter is a time of joy, renewal, and cherished traditions. Easter is for sure one of my favorite holidays because we usually spend the day with my sister and her litle family. It’s a great opportunity to catch up and have fun since they live a bit far away. In today’s post, I will be sharing a few Easter traditions to make this special day magical for children.
Easter Traditions to Make Easter Magical for Children
Easter Egg Hunt
You can’t go wrong with the classic Easter egg hunt! Gather colorful plastic eggs, fill them with treats or small toys, and hide them around your home or yard. Create separate hunting areas for different age groups to ensure that everyone has a fair chance to find some eggs. Don’t forget to have baskets ready for collecting their treasures! To make it even more exciting, consider adding clues or a treasure map for older children to follow. If you need Easter basket filler ideas check out my Amazon storefront: Easter Baskets
Decorate Easter Eggs
Get creative with egg decorating! Set up a crafting station with hard-boiled eggs, dye kits, stickers, markers, and other decorations. Encourage your little artists to let their imaginations run wild as they decorate their eggs. You can even turn it into a friendly competition by voting on the most creative egg or holding an egg-decorating contest with fun prizes for the winners.
Bake Easter Treats
Spend some quality time together in the kitchen baking delicious Easter treats. From bunny-shaped cookies to colorful cupcakes decorated with springtime sprinkles, there are plenty of festive recipes to choose from. Let your children get involved in the baking process by measuring ingredients, mixing batter, and decorating the finished treats. Not only will you create sweet memories together, but you’ll also have tasty treats to enjoy afterward!
Dress for Family Photos
Another cherished Easter tradition is dressing up in our Sunday’s best and capturing precious family moments with festive photos. My family and I don’t go to church, so we rarely have a reason to dress up in our “Sunday’s best”. However, Easter Sunday is the perfect occasion to showcase our finest attire, whether it’s pastel dresses, dapper suits, or adorable outfits for the little ones. After all, there’s something truly magical about seeing everyone dressed to the nines, radiating joy and love as they celebrate the holiday together. Take advantage of this special moment by gathering the family for a photo session filled with smiles, laughter, and plenty of Easter-themed props. Whether you’re posing in the backyard surrounded by blooming flowers or capturing candid moments indoors, these photos will serve as cherished mementos for years to come, preserving the memories of this beautiful day and the love shared among family members. So, don your Easter best, gather the family, and strike a pose – it’s time to create lasting memories and celebrate the joy of Easter together!
Visit the Easter Bunny
Pay a visit to the Easter Bunny for a fun and memorable photo opportunity. Many malls, parks, and community centers offer Easter Bunny meet-and-greets where children can take photos with the fluffy character. Dress them up in their Easter best, and don’t forget to bring along a basket for any treats or goodies the Easter Bunny might have in store. It’s a great way to capture the magic of the season and create cherished keepsakes.
Easter Sunday Brunch
Gather your loved ones for a special Easter Sunday brunch filled with delicious food and festive cheer. Serve up traditional Easter dishes like ham, deviled eggs, hot cross buns, and colorful fruit salads. Set a festive table with springtime linens, fresh flowers, and Easter-themed decorations. You can either prep everything yourself. Be sure to grab all necessities and deliver them right to your door using Voilà. Another option is visiting local restaurants and other favorite spots. It’s been years but a little brunch at Duc de Lorraine would be fantastic for the family!
