How to Plan an Unforgettable Easter Party for Kids (with Games, Crafts & a Printable Scavenger Hunt!)

Easter is more than just a religious holiday—it's a magical time for kids filled with spring cheer, chocolate treats, colorful eggs, and fun family traditions. If you’re planning an Easter party for kids, there are so many creative ways to make it truly special. From crafting bunny-themed invitations to setting up a festive dinner and organizing exciting games, this guide will help you host a celebration they’ll remember.

And if you're looking for a hassle-free way to add excitement, don’t miss our printable Easter scavenger hunt at www.quizzfairy.com—a fun and easy activity that will keep kids entertained and engaged!

1. Start with Creative Invitations

The party starts before the first guest arrives—with the invitation! Instead of store-bought cards, consider making homemade bunny-shaped invitations with your child. Use pastel cardstock, cotton for tails, googly eyes, and yarn for whiskers. Add a fun message like:
“Hop over to our bunny trail for an eggs-tra fun Easter celebration!”

You can also personalize invitations with your child’s photo and party details, or let your little one help with stickers, colors, and envelope prep. Just be sure to send them at least two weeks in advance, and always request RSVPs to plan ahead.

2. Set the Scene with Easter Decorations

Transform your home into a spring wonderland with Easter-themed decorations. Think pastel balloons, streamers, fresh flowers like tulips or lilies, and, of course, cute stuffed bunnies placed around the room. Decorate the table with Easter baskets filled with jellybeans, chocolate eggs, or handmade crafts.

Want to make the entrance extra special? Create a bunny trail leading to your front door to spark excitement as guests arrive.

3. Plan Fun Games & Activities

No Easter party is complete without games! Keep the little guests smiling with these classic and creative Easter party activities:

  • Easter Egg Hunt – Hide colorful eggs around the house or garden. Award small prizes or chocolate treats to everyone who participates.

  • Reverse Egg Hunt – Let the kids hide eggs and the adults search for them. A fun twist!

  • Egg Head Game – Mix raw and hard-boiled eggs. Each child cracks one on their head—the lucky one with the hard-boiled egg wins!

  • Easter Guessing Game – Fill a jar with jellybeans or mini eggs. The closest guess wins a prize.

  • Easter Memory Game – Paint eggs and hide them color-side down. Let the kids test their memory by finding the matches.

Crafts are not only fun but also a great way to calm kids down during the party. Set up a creative corner with easy DIY Easter crafts like:

  • Paper Bunny Masks – Using paper plates, ribbons, and construction paper.

  • Decorated Easter Eggs – Use tissue paper and water to create unique patterns.

  • Easter Egg Dolls – Combine muffin cups and decorated eggs to make adorable egg dolls.

  • Bunny Envelopes, Place Cards, and Name Tags – Perfect for setting the table.

Encourage kids to take their creations home as keepsakes or party favors!

5. Serve Delicious Kid-Friendly Easter Recipes

Good food is essential for a great party. Prepare Easter-themed treats that kids will love:

You can also try simple recipes like baked smoked ham with pineapple juice and brown sugar, spring salad, or rosemary garlic potatoes to satisfy both kids and adults.

6. Host a Memorable Easter Dinner

If your Easter celebration includes dinner, make it special by:

  • Setting a decorated table with a cheerful centerpiece (e.g., a flower-filled Easter basket)

  • Playing gentle Easter songs in the background

  • Giving each child a small gift like stickers, pencils, or a chocolate bunny

  • Choosing a nature or bunny-themed décor to reflect the spring season

Don’t forget to plan pick-up and drop-off times for guests, especially if the party is hosted outside your home. Clear communication helps things run smoothly!
