Fun Easter Activities for Kids of All Ages
Whether it's the excitement of the Easter bunny's visit or a scrummy family dinner (followed by a mini-egg cheesecake of course!) on Easter Sunday, Easter marks the official start of spring, and at My Primary and Secondary Tutor, we're here for its promise of sunshine, blooming flowers, and adorable baby animals.
To add a bit of festive fun to the season, we've compiled a list of 10 Easter-themed activities for your child (and you!) to try at home. Not only will they be great fun for all the family, the'll give you child an opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills to something new.
All the activities have been picked to be suitable for children aged 5-16 but of course, you know your child best, so pick something you know they'll love!
Easter Bunny House
For an Easter take on the Christmas Gingerbread House, this is a super simple activity that kids of all ages will LOVE! They look great too and would make a great centre-piece for the Sunday Dinner table!

Have you heard of the egg drop experiment? Basically, it's a challenge to create something for a raw egg to be dropped in without it breaking! A classic one that kids LOVE!

No-Sew Bunnies
How cute would these look as place settings at the dinner table? Or as part of a spring garland on the mantelpiece? Really easy to create and a great one for tweens and teens.
Hidden Colours
Another fantastic STEM activity that is popular with young and older children alike. An easy but potentially messy one to set up - who doesn't love a bit of vinegar and bi-carb action?!
Shaving Cream Marbled Paper Easter Eggs
These cards look brilliant and would be a very welcome gift for family and friends. We love the affect the shaving cream has on the card - different every time!

Grow an egg-cress head
Growing cress is so easy to do (and a bit of a childhood right of passage!) This egg-themed way to do it is perfect for the Easter holidays and your child will love to see it grow!
