Printables
DLTKhas a bunch of different printables for you and your children to have fun for hours. Your kids can create bookmarks, cards, and t-shirt designs using our transfer paper. Print these pages in black and white and let your children color in the drawings of bunnies or flowers. With these printables, kids can draw faces on a hatched chick, bunnies, and lambs.

Games
Why not check out some of the Easter games we’ve featured before? Besides the usual Easter egg hunt, swap the donkey for a rabbit in “pin the nose on the bunny.” Another fun, simple option is the “jellybean toss” in which kids toss as many jellybeans in a cup within a set time period. Take the fun outside and host an “egg on a spoon race.” Kids race to the finish line while balancing an egg on a spoon. Dropped eggs = disqualification. First one to cross the line with the egg intact on the spoon wins!
