Easter Activities for Preschoolers

March 24, 2025 by Sarah White Leave a Comment

Most schools seem to embrace the bunnies, chicks and eggs part of Easter even if they don’t talk about the religious aspects of the day. Here are some fun Easter activities for preschoolers you can do at school or at home.

I love this bunny hop gross motor activity from Teaching Littles, because you can do it inside or outside (though you’ll want to laminate the bunnies if you’re going to use it outside). You can also set it up like hopscotch, with the spots in a line or a zig zag or place some closer and some farther apart to do some hopping and bigger jumps.

Virtual Book Club for Kids has a week full of bunny activities that is inspired by the book Knuffle Bunny. It includes sensory play, alphabet activities, math activities, a snack and art activities. Within the post you’ll find links to other bunny themed book activities including Peter Rabbit and The Runaway Bunny.

Fizzing activities are always fun, and this one using plastic Easter eggs from Busy Toddler is easy to set up and littles will love it. If you need more ideas for what to do with plastic eggs, check out my post on learning activities using plastic eggs.

Practice scissors skills with these Easter eggs with different lines on them to practice curves and zig zags. They come from Taming Little Monsters. You can also make cut and past Easter eggs like these from Planes and Balloons to practice cutting, pattern matching, gluing and coloring.

Simple Mom Project has a cute cut and paste bunny your kids can make for even more cutting practice.

Or if you want a craft that’s a little more involved and personalized, you can make these pretty salt dough Easter eggs from Kids Activity Zone. Each kid can make their own ornament and paint it as they like for a sweet Easter gift.

Printable Letter Books for Preschoolers

I did a post earlier this year with activities and ideas for teaching the alphabet, but a lot or learning letters and recognizing them just has to do with seeing them and working with them a lot.

That means coloring, tracing, identifying things that start with different letters and more. 

One way to reinforce the letters is through little activity books like these cute printable alphabet books from Life Over Cs. 

These are available for free when you subscribe to her newsletter, and I’d say that’s well worth it if you have a little one (or a group of little ones!) working on the alphabet and letter recognition. 

Each mini book includes a collection of things that start with that letter to color, color and read with words that start with the letter, tracing the letter, finding the letter in a grid and other coloring pages with objects that start with that letter. 

These little books are super useful reinforcing the different letters and giving kids different activities related to the letters. 

If you do a letter of the day or letter of the week you can use a new book for each one, and then keep the copies in your reading center or in a basket where kids can look at them again. 

And of course you can add in all the other letter activities you like, go on a scavenger hunt for items that start with that letter, read alphabet books, practice writing letters in rice or with pompoms or playdough or whatever sensory activities you like. 

You can grab the free printables when you enter you email address at Life Over Cs, and check out her other great alphabet resources and activities while you are over there. 

Do you have favorite activities for teaching letters to kids? I’d love to hear about them!
