🧡 Easter egg potato stamping
Carefully cut out designs in potatoes (TRICK – use metal cookie cutters to easy stamp an outline into the potato) and then use them as stamps when painting. These make great little stampers for younger toddlers!

Another super simple color matching activity. All you need to do is draw some eggs onto paper in random order and have your toddlers match the order. We are using an egg carton to hold the eggs.

Make your own puzzle out of cardboard and paint! Cut out an outline and glue it onto another piece of cardboard to create the base. Then cut and paint the puzzle pieces as you’d like.

Easy painting for younger toddlers, simply use tape to create designs in cardstock eggs and then paint away! Once the paint is dried, you can peel back the tape to reveal your designs.
💜 Easter egg baking soda and vinegar painting
To get this cool effect, first paint the eggs with a baking soda and water paste. Then add drops of food coloring and vinegar and watch it fizzle!

An easy sensory play for younger toddlers is rice and easter eggs! They can scoop and pour and close the eggs to make little shakers. For easy clean up, set up on top of a large flat sheet to catch all the rice.

Coloring is always a calming activity. Simply draw various pictures onto a large packing sheet and color it in!
