We are living in strange times. All aspects of our lives are having to take some sort of shift. We recently celebrated Gemma’s birthday that didn’t necessarily look the way we had initially intended, but we made it work and you know what she said it was the best day ever! Easter is just around the corner and I wanted to find fun ways our family could still celebrate while being safe and healthy indoors. I hope these ideas help all your families have some holiday fun while quarantined.
Paint And Plant A Small Garden
This is a wonderful spring activity. Bring the outdoors inside with this fun art project. Learn a bit about the magic of spring through this special all inclusive kit. Children get to paint the the planter to encourage creativity, and then plant 3 different seeds to later watch them grow. A great project for both girls and boys and all ages.

Easter Egg Advent Calendar
Christmas gets an advent calendar, why not all holidays? This creative idea includes both an art project and daily fun all in one. What you fill them with is endless, a little sweet treat, a little gift, maybe a fun riddle, or a fortune like a fortune cookie! Anything is possible for this egg advent calendar.
Guess How Many!
This is a super easy and fun holiday game to initiate with your family while staying home! Grab a jar and fill it with jellybeans, chocolate easter eggs, M&M’s, whatever is your families favorite Easter sweet treat! Have each family member guess the number the jar is filled with! Maybe your winning family member gets an Easter gift, or wears an Easter crown, or simply gets the jar of goodies! Hehe!
Easter Bingo
Who doesn’t love a bingo game? This is a classic game with a holiday twist. I great way to bring the family together for a family game night while celebrating the holiday. Bingo is also a wonderful game for all ages! It’s a great way to teach matching to younger children!

L.O.L Surprise Spring Bling Doll
My daughters love their L.O.L Surprise dolls! They’re quite the popular item in our household. So when I found this limited edition Easter doll, I knew it was something I had to add to their Easter baskets this year. The doll includes a spring-inspired look, bunny ears and a basket. Also available is the limited edition Spring Bling Pet!
Quarantine Knit Kits
I love the idea of my kids learning a fun new hobby while quarantined. These knit kits from Shit That I Knit is that perfect hobby. Ill definitely be adding these kits to their Easter baskets! Not only is knitting a great lesson in patience and focus, but there’s also a reward at the end, a brand new beanie, a scarf, or a blanket! I know my girls will be so proud of their completed projects.
Bake! We’ve been baking a ton the past few weeks and the kids are absolutely loving every minute of it! Last year, we made this fun Peep cake topped with coconut and jelly beans!

I get what you are saying. Definitely, we should all be trying hard to make the best of this. There are some great ideas here. Thanks.
I think the kids would love the Egg Painting Craft Kit! It’s good that they can do their own design and they can unleash their inner creativity. Very timely too for Easter Sunday next week.
Yes! Such a fun activity!
These are some great Easter basket ideas and Easter games I love them you are so right Easter doesn’t have to be canceled
Thanks for leaving here so many useful tips to lay hold on especially at these previous and terrible times of anti-social living. Continue to stay safe as we survive these perilious season.👍👍
Thanks for sharing! you are totally right we can still celebrate Easter at home and enjoy it with family
i used to love painting easter eggs. that is so cool you found a painting kit! i am sure that’d be very popular with the kids. also if you haven’t already, you could make resurrection eggs you can use to tell the story of easter.
We refuse to cancel any celebrations. They will just be a little bit different this year.
Absolutely. I feel the same way!
Reading this makes me so excited for spring. What a great time to celebrate
It’s such a shame that Easter is going to be so tame this year, lovely post, I hope it gives some parents great ideas to keep their children entertained
Lovely post. Absolutely agree with you. Easter doesn’t have to be canceled. We are planning to celebrate as always. We only gonna miss family and friends coming.
