Eggs-traordinary Easter Countdown
Easter Activities for Little Ones
By Kendeyl Johansen
You'll need: 
A large egg-shaped cookie cutter
Bread
Squeeze bottle of mayonnaise
Squeeze bottle of mustard
Sliced cheddar cheese
Sliced ham
Crackers
Cheese in a can with a nozzle
Carrot sticks
Have your child place slices of bread onto the kitchen table. Cover the bread with slices of ham and cheese, alternating so that some of the open-faced sandwiches are pink and some are orange. Using the cookie cutter, help your child cut the sandwiches into egg shapes. Decorate the "eggs" with lines or dots made of mayonnaise and mustard.
Give your child several circle-shaped crackers and let them decorate the crackers with spray-cheese to create Easter egg look-alikes.
Have a crunching contest with the carrot sticks.
Neighborhood Eggs-citement
Kids love secrets. Your child will enjoy making simple treats for your neighbors, leaving the goodies in front of doorways and secretly watching as the offerings are discovered.
You'll need:
Plastic eggs that separate into halves
Wrapped candy
Help your child fill several plastic eggs with candy. Stake out a hiding place from which your child and you will secretly watch neighbors discover the eggs. Sneak up to a neighbor's door with your child, quietly like a bunny. Set the filled eggs in front of the door. Ring the doorbell and hop on out of there! Hide with your giggling child and watch your neighbors discover their surprise.
