Update 2021: I wrote this list last year, when we spent Easter in lockdown and we were looking for ways to make the celebration special while stuck at home. I never expected that one year later, Easter will still look different than usual, but I hope the ideas on this list will help you find some fun activities to try with your kids!

Easter looks different this year.

If you are looking for fun Easter activities to enjoy with your family while you’re stuck at home, I’ve gathered here a list of ideas that you can easily try with your kids.
