Friday Fun: 100+ Easter activities
Today’s Friday fun is all about Easter and spring! What does your family do for Easter? It’s one of two holidays that my family and I do with just the three of us (the other is Halloween). It’s special that way, and after Wood Sprite* does her egg hunt and gets into her goodies, we usually spend the day playing—doing karaoke, crafts, whatever we want!—since Daddy’s off work.
Here are some fun craft ideas, science experiments and other activities we’ll be using this weekend! Some of these links have dozens of ideas, so you may want to bookmark them for later, or even next year. Tip: I like to keep two plan books going at once, and whatever we don’t do that we want to do or we want to repeat, I jot down in next year’s book.
Feel free to share some of your own ideas in the comments.
