Easter Bunny Handprint
Have the kids press their handprints onto a piece of construction paper using paint or ink. Once the handprints are dry, use markers or paint to add details such as eyes, nose, ears, and a fluffy tail to create an Easter Bunny.
Easter Egg Decorating
Hard boil some eggs and let them cool. Provide the kids with paint, markers, stickers, or other decorations to decorate the eggs. Once the eggs are dry, they can be displayed in a basket or used as part of an Easter egg hunt.
