Imagine the delight on your child’s face as he or she reads a personalized letter from The Easter Bunny. You can easily make that a reality – all you have to do is supply a little information about your child – then wait for the magic to take place!
As you probably already know, in a child’s mind The Easter Bunny is almost as important as Santa Claus himself. Kids have a way of attaching themselves to these adorable characters. After all, Santa Claus and The Easter Bunny seem to know things about them that only a real friend would know.
When you think about it, these characters want nothing more than to make kids happy – so it just makes sense that kids would have nothing but adoration for them. And as someone that loves a kid it makes sense that you would help this process along.
One ideal way to create special memories is to plan a time that you and the kids you love can write letters to The Easter Bunny and play some special Easter games? All you need for the letters is some pastel paper, envelopes, stickers, markers, glitter and glue. Just let the kids get creative and decorate their letters and envelopes in a favorite Easter theme.
When it comes to games one idea is to create your own version of pin the tail on Peter Cottontail. You can use a cut out of a rabbit made from cardboard, poster board, or even construction paper. Just use cotton for the tail. You can add a piece of tape to the cotton to use to hold it on the rabbit cut out.
Of course there’s always the traditional Easter egg hunt. You can give out prizes to everyone that finds an egg. Just prepare zip lock bags filled with special goodies. Another Easter game is called the ‘Egg Roller’. Let the kids race to get their egg from a starting point to an ending point. The trick is they have to roll the egg using only their noses.
Easter hats are a tradition so why not allow the kids to get in on the act? Purchase inexpensive painter’s hats or baseball style caps and let the kids go crazy decorating them. Your craft box will supply the decorative touches. You might want to offer up feathers, silk flowers, ribbons, lace, buttons, and even bits of fabric. Then you can enjoy a front seat at your own ‘Easter Parade’.
Have the kids parade around as if they are giving a fashion show and give a prize to the ‘most creative hat’, the ‘silliest hat’, the ‘prettiest hat’, etc. Just be sure to come up with enough titles and prizes to ensure that everyone wins something!
One other game that we have played uses eggs and spoons. We call it ‘Pass The Egg’. As you may have guessed you have to place the egg on spoon and pass it into the next person’s spoon. The goal is to get the egg through a group of people without dropping it. Of course, we use plastic eggs for this so there is no harm done if the egg does fall.
The point is, Easter can be a lot of fun for young and old alike. All it takes is a little imagination and creativity. So put on your thinking cap and have a wonderful Easter celebration that will be remembered!
