Easter eggs, chicks, bells, and bunnies always bring endless surprises and joy to children. Even very young children can feel the magic of the festival. Here are some gentle and fun activity ideas to help you introduce your little one to Easter traditions!

3 months and older: Colorful Easter Eggs

Prepare some brightly colored plastic or wooden Easter eggs, which may have stripes or patterns. When purchasing, please make sure the material is safe and will not be harmful even if the baby puts it in their mouth. During Easter, you can place the Easter eggs around the changing table so that the baby can pick them up and play with them one by one while changing diapers, observing the appearance of each one.

3 months or more: Experience the wonders of nature

Springtime brings life to everything, and Easter is the perfect time to enjoy the flowers. Swaddle your baby and head into a wooded area or park to listen to birdsong, the wind, and the babbling brook. Let your baby touch tree trunks, feel the soft grass, and hear the rustling of falling leaves. Even if they seem uninterested, they'll enjoy being surrounded by nature.

6 months and older: Listen to the ringtone

Babies are very sensitive to sound from a young age. During Easter, you'll often hear bells, so try preparing a few small bells with different tones. Gently shake them in front of your baby and then place them in their hand. They might imitate your shaking motion, trying to reproduce the pleasant sound.

6 months and older: Easter treasure basket

Line a small basket with soft straw and hide Easter-related items such as bells, bunnies, chicks, and colored eggs. Let your child slowly explore the surprises in the basket, introducing each item to them as you go. It's guaranteed to be a delightful surprise!

1 year and older: Spring bouquet

Collect a few flowering branches while taking your child for a walk, then put them in a large vase when you get home, and hang Easter decorations such as colored eggs, bells, and chicks on them. Let your child admire the finished product and talk to them about the meaning of each decoration. Just like a Christmas tree, Easter bouquets are a beloved symbol of the holiday for young children.

Easter Egg Hunt (for ages 1 and up)

If your baby has started walking, you can hold a simple egg hunt at home or in the garden. Place brightly packaged eggs on the ground and guide them along a clearly visible path to the surprise (prepare chocolates or small toys depending on their age). As they get older, you can hide the eggs more cleverly to make the search more fun.

18 months and older: Surprise Egg

Prepare several openable paper or plastic eggs, and put small cars, dolls, or mini toys inside. Demonstrate how to open the first egg, and after discovering the surprise inside, your baby will happily open and close the other eggs.

Easter creative decorations for ages 2 and up

Two-year-olds have developed basic fine motor skills and can begin simple creative activities. They will enjoy drawing, finger painting, and collage. Cut out cardboard shapes (such as chicks, eggs, bunnies, and bells), and provide materials such as paint, colored stickers, thick colored pencils, crepe paper, feathers, and cotton to help them complete their artwork. Afterward, admire the finished product together and use it to decorate the room, adding to the Easter atmosphere!

Ages 2 and up: Making an Easter basket

Make an Easter basket with your child using household items. Find a cardboard box (milk carton, juice box, or shoebox will do), cut off the top half, and make a handle out of cardboard. Let your child decorate the basket with paint, colored pencils, stickers, and ribbons. Once finished, it can be used to collect Easter eggs on Easter Day!

Ages 2 and up: Palm-sized chick

Have your child place their palm on a yellow cardboard, extend their thumb, trace the outline, and cut it out. Draw eyes and a mouth on the thumb, and glue white or yellow feathers onto the other fingers to complete an adorable "palm-sized chick"!
