Indoor Easter Egg Hunt with a Twist: If you’re looking to make an indoor egg hunt more egg-citing, add a riddle into the mix. So instead of a wild egg hunt where kids search on their own, have them solve riddles to find each egg. This adds an element of fun and keeps the excitement high.

1. Easter Obstacle Course: To help your kids burn off energy after enjoying Easter candy, create an indoor obstacle course. Build a “bunny hop” by jumping over pillows, test their balance by having them walk around the house with an egg on a spoon, or make a “chick crawl” by having them crawl under a table to hunt for small Easter treats.
2. Easter Storytime with a Puppet Show: If your children love to read, share your favorite Easter book but add a puppet show element for a fun twist. It’s a fun way to enjoy reading and have a little fun with imagination.
3. Easter Day Photo Shoot: Create a mini photo booth at home with bunny ears, eggs, and crafts. It’s a fun activity, and you’ll have precious memories to keep forever. ( I did that with my son and 18 years later - I still love the picture)
4. Easter Movie Marathon: Cozy up for an Easter-themed movie marathon. Here are some family-friendly films to get you started:
   1. Hop
   2. It’s the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown
   3. Peter Rabbit
   4. Winnie the Pooh: Springtime with Roo
   5. Zootopia
