Here are some easy ways to celebrate Easter
- Make paper plate bunnies. Simply take one white paper plate and cut 2 ear shapes from it and staple or glue them to the top of another white paper plate and draw a face on it. Glue cotton balls around the edge of the plate.
- Cut out construction paper Easter eggs and color and paint them to hang around the house.
- Use rabbit, chick, cross and egg shaped cookie cutters for toast, sandwiches, brownies, rice krispie treats and more.
- Color your own eggs by making your own egg dye. Try beet juice, kool aid and anything that has color.
- Make Easter egg holders, cut empty paper towel tubes about 2 inches each and wrap in colorful paper. You can then sit your eggs on them.
- Cut out construction paper egg shapes and write a Bible verse on each one about what Easter is really about.
- Make small Easter baskets and deliver to nursing homes to those residents that never get visitors and to your elderly neighbors.
- Read the Easter story in the Bible and some Easter books.
- Have an Easter egg hunt and invite children of the community.
- Decorate an outside tree with plastic Easter eggs.
- Have a special breakfast, lunch or dinner on Easter Sunday!
