Easter fun ideas:

Is your kiddo too old to want to participate in an traditional Easter Egg Hunt this year? Throw an Easter party instead!

Here are some recipes you can include at your party:

Easter Dirt Cups

Pastel Rainbow Gelatin Cups

Easter Bunny Trail Mix

Easter Bunny Pudding Cups

Mini ‘Carrot’ Peppers Stuffed w/ Herb Cream Cheese

Easter Bunny Veggie Tray

Of course a party isn't complete without games!

Here are some game ideas you can include at your party:

1. Capture the Egg

Another game that is a favorite among teens is Capture the Flag.

Well, Capture the Egg is a fun twist on that popular game.

To play, you’ll need to have 8 plastic eggs- 4 blue ones and 4 green ones. Start by dividing everyone into 2 teams.
Then, give one team the blue eggs and the other team the green eggs and have them line up their eggs.
The object of this game is to try and capture the other team’s eggs, without being tagged.
If a player is tagged, they are out of the game!

2. Bunny Sack Race

Teens are never too old for a good old-fashioned sack race!

And Easter is the perfect time for a Bunny Sack Race.

All the players, standing inside a sack, line up at a designated start line. When the race begins, players start hopping towards a designated finish line.
Any player who doesn’t stay inside their sack is out of the game.
The player who crosses the finish line first wins the game.

3. Easter Egg Push

Okay, so you are going to need some eggs, a designated start line and a designated finish line.

To play the game, all the players line up at the start line and the object is to get their egg to the finish line, using only their nose!
The first player to do so is the game winner.

4. Glow-In-The-Dark Easter Egg Hunt!

This game puts a twist on the traditional egg hunts. It's set in the evenings and allows for plenty of backyard fun. It's also great for those that might be feeling too shy to be seen out egg hunting! Instead of chocolates, you can always add a more mature spin on things by adding money, Easter temporary tattoos, hair ties, bracelets, slime, tickets, bouncy balls, etc.

5. Easter Egg Charades

Fill plastic eggs with papers containing specific actions or activities that can be acted out.
Have each person take a turn by grabbing an egg then acting out what is on the paper inside.
Give each person one minute, then the person who guesses get to take the egg from the person acting out or if nobody guesses, the actor keeps their egg.
At the end of the game, the person with the most eggs is the winner and gets a prize.
