Easter for kids
By Catalogs Editorial Staff
Make Easter for kids an eggs-tra special occasion with these activities.
What is not to love about Easter for kids? The Easter Bunny brings baskets that are overflowing with chocolate bunnies, eggs, marshmallow Peeps, more chocolate, lollipops, jelly beans and every other candy imaginable. And, there are suprises to be had in hidden Easter eggs. It does not get much more fun than that.
There are plenty of creative activities that make Easter for kids a special occasion, but the most common (and traditional) is coloring Easter eggs. Instead of buying your Easter egg dye (like PAAS), why not make your own at home out of everyday kitchen items?
Here is what you will need:
- Food coloring
- Hot water
- White vinegar
- Small bowls or cups
- Slotted spoon
- Cooking oil
- Soft cloth
