More Easter Fun for Kidsby Michele Cheplic | More from this Blogger 10 Apr 2009 11:38 PM It's a rare year that our Easter weather is actually spring-like. Typically, April in Wisconsin is not the time to be putting away winter jackets and boots (that doesn't come until July). However, this Easter might just be decent after all. If the Weather Channel is right, we should be waking up to chocolate bunnies, sunny skies, and temps in the 50s on Easter morning. If Mother Nature cooperates we will be celebrating with an outdoor Easter egg hunt. If not, we'll be indoors executing Plan B. We won't be letting nasty spring weather put a damper on our Easter celebration; rather we'll move the party indoors and have fun with these simple kid-friendly activities: CHOCOLATE EGG GUESSING GAME Materials: Large glass jar filled with chocolate eggs wrapped in pastel Easter foils Small pieces of paper Easter basket Pencil Directions: Have children write their name on a small piece of paper and their guess as to how many chocolate eggs are in the jar. The child who guesses the right number or comes closest wins the jar of candy. EASTER COOKIES Materials: Large sugar cookies in the shape of eggs Store-bought frosting Edible decorations: M&Ms, Skittles, gumdrops, sprinkles, etc. Directions: Give each partygoer a cookie and allow them to create edible egg-shaped masterpieces.
