Neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt I-spy Game

This fun and simple neighborhood Easter egg hunt game is a great way to celebrate spring and connect with neighbors while still social distancing!

With much of the world currently on pause, many communities will not be hosting their traditional Easter egg hunts this year. But that doesn’t mean we have to give up on celebrating…we just have to get creative!

One of things I have been most encouraged by during this pandemic has been the way that neighbors and communities have come together to support each other–finding creative ways to build morale even when we can’t get together in person.

The Easter Bunny’s Favorite Mini Trifles…a kid-friendly Easter dessert

Reminiscent of the kid favorite dirt cups…but nice enough to serve to adults, too, these fun and festive mini trifles are a perfect Easter dessert for your holiday gathering.Happy Easter week! It’s been spring break at our house and things have been a little crazy! The first two days were super rainy, so we did play dates with friends and the boys seriously tornadoed the house (can I use tornado as a verb??? I guess I just did). The last couple days have been beautiful though, and I’m excited to soak up the sunshine. We’re enjoying digging in the dirt (someday we’ll landscape and have grass), taking trips to the park, and going on bike rides.

I can’t believe it’s almost Easter already. I’m just catching my breath from St. Patrick’s Day (and the weekend getaway to our friends’ cabin in Idaho…holy cow LAUNDRY!), but we’re already gearing up for another holiday! Yikes! It’s okay though. I went out last night with a friend (hooray for girls’ night) and bought most of the items for my kids’ Easter baskets, and I’m enjoying the chance to do some fun Easter activities with my boys….

Easter egg surprise popcorn balls

Although it’s a simple recipe, there is more to these Easter egg-shaped popcorn balls than meets the eye. Kids will be thrilled with the surprise awaiting them inside this fun Easter dessert!

Have you ever had a kinder egg? They were clearly created by someone who understands the appeal that cheap trinkets have for children. Basically, it’s a chocolate egg with a plastic toy inside. At least it’s pretty good European chocolate rather than the super waxy cheap American stuff that shall remain nameless….

Russian Easter Bread (Kulich)

I know most families eat Ham for Easter dinner, but for most of my childhood it was my Russian grandfather’s Shashlik (my brother shared the recipe for that family tradition here). I can still hear my grandfather’s baritone voice humming songs from Fiddler on the Roof as he tended the old coal barbecue in my grandparents’ backyard. Our Russian heritage was a big part of our Easter celebration, and the only thing anticipated more than the shashlik each year was my FAVORITE part of the holiday meal: Russian Easter bread (or Kulich)….

Beyond the bunny…What I hope my kids learn about Easter

To my boys:

It’s almost Easter…only four more days. Little Man, you can hardly contain your excitement about Easter egg hunts and baskets full of fun. Little Brother, you don’t really have any idea what’s going on (mostly you just like biting the plastic eggs until they pop open), but you’re happy to go along for the ride. I love to see you so excited, because I love Easter. I love all the family traditions, the time together, the food, the spring weather that appears right around this time….

Need a way to keep your toddler busy until the Easter bunny arrives? These simple Easter egg activities require absolutely NO prep (assuming you have a few plastic eggs lying around), and they’ll provide hours of entertainment.

Little Man (3) LOVES Easter. Last year, he somehow found the Easter eggs in the basement mid-February and we had a month and a half of hunting for Easter eggs before the Easter bunny even showed up. That would have been fine, but he had a bad habit of hiding the eggs for me to find and then forgetting where he put them. So I was finding random plastic eggs around the house for months! It was never-ending. …
