Easter Toddler Activities

If only we had more Spring weather! March has definatly been a rollercoaster with the weather! Tuesday it was about 43 degrees outside and we thought it would be a good day to do some Easter activities with our kiddos. Asher & Jade are 3 weeks apart. They are 21 & 22 months old. These are the 3 activities we did with them. It was such a fun day! I love watching Asher & Jade grow and interact with one another. These too are very funny to watch as well. They literally fight like they are sibling's and know how to push each others buttons. At the end of the day though they are so loving to one another. Jade more than Asher. Since Jade was little before she leave she always gives Asher a hug. Asher's reply is usually "NOOOO" and maybe a little nudge to go away. He is finally warming up to the idea and Tuesday he let her hug him without a fuss! Watching these two is preparing me for what my husband and I's lives are going to be like in May once our little girl makes her arrival!

Some of these activities were a huge success and others not so much. But we all had a lot of fun!

Egg Coloring:
Asher loves to be messy. He loves dirt, sand, mud, or anything in general that makes a mess. Miss Jade prefers to keep clean. This was a fun experience watching Asher play in the cool whip & food coloring. While Jade watched Asher make a mess! They did roll the eggs around for a little, but I think they are still a little young so grasp the concept!
Items used:
  • Cool Whip
  • Food Coloring
  • Vinegar
I used a baking sheet and filled it with cool whip. I then added drops of food coloring and just a splash of vinegar around the pan. (I didn't do a good job of putting the correct colors beside one another, because we got some brown colored eggs.)But that's okay! It was all about having fun! I was also very surprised that for the mess Asher had made the clean up was a breeze. Typically I do think everytime I used food coloring "Oh no, My child & floor are going to be a different color". That was not the case at all! The mixture cleaned right up off my floors and no stains. Asher's hands did turn green but after his bath they were no longer stained!

Easter Trail Mix:

Every holiday I make the kiddos a trail mix! Tuesday these two very nicely shared a bowl of trail mix! Link below to the recipe. What a gentleman letting Jade have the chair !

Eggs & Straws Activity:

The goal was to balance the eggs on the straws. The kids just enjoyed pushing the straws the whole way through the box. They had a blast with it! Asher was stacking the eggs & counting while doing it. Proud Momma moment when he counts!

Items used:
  • Boxes
  • Straws
  • Plastic eggs

Egg Hunt:

I think the Egg Hunt was the kids favorite. Asher kept saying "more" once we were finished. He may or may not have tried to steal some of Jade's eggs. Jade was so sweet and placed eggs in his basket for him because he wanted them.  I see a lot of differences between little boys and little girls when these two are together.

We did the egg hunt in my backyard. My backyard is fenced in which is AMAZING! We let them out back and they took off after the eggs. I was so amazed that at just under 2 they knew what to do. So mind blowing how smart our little ones are! Here's a list of what we filled our eggs with.
Items used:
  • S'mores Goldfish
  • Yogurt Melts
  • Fruit Snacks
  • M&M's
  • Cars Goldfish
  • Animal Crackers
I also have other Eggs for Easter day with Asher that I filled and here's what I put in them!
  • Fruit snacks
  • Money
  • Legos
  • M&M's
  • Cars Goldfish
