Sugar and children can often lead to a hairy holiday, so why not get them moving while they find their treats? In each egg, include a physical activity to be completed. Ideas such as “bunny hops” and “pencil rolls” come from The Seasoned Mom blog, but feel free to add in Easter-centric ideas such as “carrot kicks” or “crack the egg” rolls. Once the children complete every activity you’ve hidden in the eggs, you’ll have tired-out kids who’ve earned every bit of that Easter candy.
