Easter is such a wonderful time to learn about Jesus and read the bible to your kids. With all the commercialization of Easter (the eggs, the bunny etc.) its also full of great learning opportunities! you can do DIY crafts, learn about colors, counting, and so much more. So lets dive right into some of the Easter homeschool fun bucket list activities to prepare for the up and coming holiday!
Make a Grateful List during your Easter Homeschool Session:
If you can’t tell at this point, I really love making lists! For this preschool activity grab a pen or marker and a little notebook and talk about being thankful, write down some of the things you and your littles are thankful for this Easter Season. Gratitude isn’t just a Thanksgiving thing, so expand it into the springtime of your year!
Listen to a sermon of podcast with you kiddos!
While some sermons will loose kids attention fast, you can darken the room and put out battery operated candles and make it a candle lit service in your own home. Some of the ministries that typically address Easter are Girl Defined and revive our hearts.
Making Mommy-Daughter Cross Necklaces.
Cross necklaces are so special, as well as the bonding time spent crafting something together! This season I challenge you to step out in your faith and make cross necklaces to wear together! While you are at it you could make some for Easter gifts for the family!
Dye Easter Eggs:
This is a classic activity, that my little and I do every year! Classic but messy and full of learning opportunities. Talk about, and have them identify the colors of the eggs, DIY, and crayons you guys use to decorate them. You can also count the eggs. For instance lay out a few eggs (differing amounts each time) and have your little count them. We got the Pearl Easter Egg kit to make some supper girly Easter eggs! You can shop the pearl kit on amazon here!
Alphabet Easter Eggs:
Easter eggs with a twist, write letters on them or tape letters on them (whichever you prefer) and then get some letter tiles, or make your own by writing letters on paper and cutting them out. Next have your little tot put the letter tiles into the eggs they match. Matching letters to letters!

I found a really great tool for teaching the bible to young children! The Story, this is a book which makes the bible easy to read and understand. It is like a chronological bible with a mix of exerts directly from the bible and summaries! It reads just like a bedtime story! Get your copy from amazon here!
