Let’s keep Easter ideas simple (and fun!)

I am not one to spend much prep time on activities I have for my children. Instead, I look for Easter activities and crafts that encourage the process over the final product.

I organized this roundup of Easter ideas into FIVE categories with that thought in mind. From toddler activities to entertaining preschoolers.

THE 411 OF ROUNDUPS: Each link will take you to an activity to help make your rabbit hole search on Pinterest easier. The titles explain what you will find when you hop over to another blog for the idea. New activities will open in a different tab, so you will still have this original list to bounce back to in your browser.

Inside this Easter activity for kids roundup, you will find:

• Simple Easter Games
• Easy Easter Sensory Bins
• Easter Art Activities
• Fun Easter Egg Decorating Ideas
• Family Games for Easter

RELATED: As the weather warms up, you’ll want to pin this outdoor activity list to circle back to over the next few months.
