Bunny Bowling- Once you set up Bunny Bowling, even the adults will want to take a few turns at trying for a strike. Using a plastic tablecloth as the bowling alley, pool noodles as the bumpers, water bottles for the bunny bowling pins, and a large plastic egg as the bowling ball, you’ve got a bowling game that is a real crowd pleaser.

Easter Grass Seed Bombs- When it comes to Easter baskets, we’ve got a strict No-Easter-Grass policy in our house because it magically multiplies and I’ll find it in random corners of my house at Christmastime. But for this festive craft, you can put paper Easter grass to good use. Start by soaking the paper grass in water. Then add a few packets of seeds—like wildflowers-- and gently mix. Create shapes by molding the mixture using cookie cutters, muffin tins, or even plastic eggs. When the seed bombs dry, spread them in a garden or in your yard and wait for your spring flowers to sprout.

Egg Engineering- With a little Playdoh and plastic eggs, your tiny engineers can create and build egg-defying towers and sculptures. This is the perfect boredom buster when the youngest guests finish Easter brunch before the adults.

Peep Village- Looking for an easy way to get rid of all that Easter candy--seriously, we still have Halloween candy hanging around our house-- Create a Peep Paradise or a Bunny Village for your marshmallow Peeps by building graham crackers houses. A little icing works great as the glue, and Easter candy as accents will make these houses sweet and one of a kind. Let your kids create their Easter village on foil lined cookie sheets to cut down on the mess and cleanup.
