Easter is fast approaching, and it's the perfect opportunity to organize fun and creative activities with your children! From the traditional egg hunt to family craft time, there are a thousand and one ways to spark their imagination. For Easter, we've come up with five ideas for simple, fun activities. We'll leave you to plan the chocolates. Namaki takes care of the colors and the fun!
Organize a decorated Easter egg contest
As classic as the egg hunt, decorating Easter eggs is a popular activity with children and parents alike! Everyone has their own technique: coloring, painting, drawing, gluing sequins or mosaics. For some, it will remain an egg; for others, it may become a puppet, a bird or a man. Anticipate the activity and keep your egg cartons empty. Children can decorate them. Create a handle with cardboard, ribbon or a flexible branch and store the eggs in these eco-friendly baskets. Help the youngest or those with a little difficulty. And if you decide to reward the most creative child, remember to congratulate all the others, because the important thing is to participate, right?
💡With older children, you can consider a collaborative workshop where everyone brings their own decorated egg to create a joint work!
Making Easter wreaths
Instead of an egg hunt, why not organize a spring wreath-making workshop? On a walk in the woods or countryside, collect soft branches, flowers or leaves. If the branches aren't soft enough, cut out a pattern for your wreath from cardboard. You can then glue on the plants and decorate them with ribbons, paint, glitter or chocolate eggs...
Share a make-up workshop
Rabbit, chick or flower fairyWhich makeup do your children most want to wear?
Thanks to our wide range of products, every child can use the one he or she prefers to paint, trace lines or draw shapes. As for the number of shades available, it's enough to make your head spin! Twenty jumbo pencils, including six glitter pencils, fourteen fine pencils, sixteen water-based blush palettes and eighteen nail polishes. Fortunately, Namaki makes your life easier with assortments such as the Namaki Box Rainbow tattoos) for your Easter workshop, or the kits for the three pencils or three varnishes for example.

Cooking an Easter picnic
Savory or sweet? Whatever your taste, the kitchen is the perfect place to express your creativity. Young and old alike can die-cut shortbread in the shape of rabbits, eggs or nests. Then use natural coloring, melted chocolate or pastry decorations to add the finishing touch. In their savory version, the dough can be pizza dough or made with polenta, for example. Add cherry tomatoes to the nests, pieces of pitted olive to make the rabbit's eyes... You can also have fun sculpting radishes or carrots.
💡Propose surprise eggs for the picnic! Cook the eggs. Once shelled, soak them for several hours in beet juice, tea, water with spices, etc. to fully color them.
Creating an Easter fresco
Unroll a large sheet of paper or scraps of wallpaper rolls on the floor. Provide the children with everything they need to draw, paint or write, as well as an assortment of little things to glue on: small leaves, freshly picked or dried meadow flowers, feathers, stickers and stickers. Encourage little artists to create a large spring-themed fresco using their hand and fingerprints. Make sure the children wear safe clothing so they don't feel restricted in their creativity. A moment of creativity that's sure to leave a lasting impression!
💡Fittingly, to keep a souvenir, cut out the mural like a puzzle and give each child a piece before heading home!
With these five creative activity ideas, Easter becomes a magical time when children can let their imaginations run wild while sharing good times with family and friends. As well as having fun, they develop their creativity, fine motor skills and a sense of sharing. So, tell us, which activity will you try first this year?
