2. Stack ’em Don’t Crack ’em
What you will need:
- Plastic eggs (a lot of them!)
Directions: Dump out and open all of your plastic eggs. Take turns stacking an “egg half” on top of the existing pile. Continue until your stack falls over or “cracks”. This game can easily be modified to focus on different concepts: sequencing, counting, color identification, etc. Originally from ToddlerApproved.com {here}.
3. Easter Egg Plinko Game
What you will need:
- Large cardboard box
- bag of plastic Easter eggs

At the bottom, add three slots to catch the ball. Label the slots with a point value. Prop the game up against a bench, then drop the ball and see where it lands. Decide how many turns each player gets. Add up your points as you go. Person with the most points wins. Originally from YourTherapySource.com {here}.
4. Feed the Bunny
What you will need:
- Make a paper bag bunny puppet, simple directions {here}
- White paper
- Scissors
- Orange marker
- Green marker
- Thin black marker or pen
Directions: To make the game pieces, cut 8 squares out of your white paper. Draw different shapes on the squares with your orange marker. These are your carrots. With a green marker draw the leafy part on top of each carrot then with a thin black marker or pen draw horizontal lines on them to make them look more like a carrot. To Play: Lay out all the carrots and put the bunny puppet on your hand. In a goofy bunny voice, have the bunny ask the child for a certain shape of carrot. The child finds that shape and then puts it into the bunny’s “mouth” and pretends to eat it. Set the used cards in a pile off to the side and have the next person feed the bunny! To make it harder, make game pieces with numbers 1-8. For example one card may have a 4 on it. Using simple addition, ask the kids to find the carrot with answer to the problem 2+2. When they find the #4 carrot, have them feed the bunny. Originally from LittleFamilyFun.com {here}.
