  1. Thank you so much for the great ideas! There are several that I am going to try this Easter, #5 is a wonderful way to teach kids the love of giving. I definitely will use this one.

  2. All of these sound like great ideas to try. Easter is rightly to be celebrated and it is smart and wise to promote Easter in the weeks leading up to Easter Day. You will be able to do a lot more if you give yourself more time. The activities above are very inspiring, and remember,Easter for every age is doable

  3. Great activities for Easter weekend! I love to dip eggs in food coloring for the family, and what a cute idea of using cookie cutters to make bunny-shaped pancakes!

  4. These are amazing ways to celebrate Easter. I always loved filling plastic eggs with gifts and buying 20 golden eggs. Yeah, 20 golden eggs, so more than one got a golden egg. I always put slips of paper in the eggs for gifts on display.

  5. These are great suggestions! I have six kiddos at home, and we are definitely going to give these a try.

  6. I loved when my son was little and we had all the fun of dying eggs and waiting for the Easter Bunny to come. Now I have the same fun with my Grandsons. It is such a joy for me to be able to experience this all over again…
