Tips for home activities at Easter

Those preparing for Easter this year will likely find that their plans look different than in years past. While Easter plans may have changed, connecting with your loved ones and making the most of Easter at home has never been more important. So here's some tips for Easter at-home activities to help families carry on the Easter traditions and find new ways to connect.

Use fruits and vegetables from your fridge to decorate your eggs
No dye? Do not worry! Make naturally dyed Easter eggs with ingredients you may already have in your fridge, such as beets, orange peels, spinach leaves, or grape juice. Adding vinegar to natural dyes helps deepen the color, as does leaving it in the dye for a longer period of time. In addition, eggs decorated with food-safe materials that are kept outside the refrigerator for no longer than two hours can be safely eaten.

Create something new with baking products
More people than ever are cooking at home. Wondering what baking activity you can do as a family? Jump into the Easter season by making deliciously cute Easter Bunny cupcakes. Or make these delicious stuffed Easter eggs.

Go roll Easter eggs in your backyard
Want to radiate a little competitive energy? Get the family together to see who can roll a hard-boiled egg across the grass the fastest. The catch? You can only use a spoon to move your egg. Learn an easy method to hard boil eggs here.

Add international flair without leaving home

Create it loose
Create it loose by making confetti eggs. In addition to confetti, you can also fill your eggs with glitter, small sheets of tissue paper or even colorful cereal. Or decorate a beautiful Easter tree.
