Easter is hopping around the corner, and I’ve got a little surprise that’ll make our family dinner more fun for the little bunnies at our table. We all know how wiggly and giggly our kids can get, especially when they’re supposed to sit still for what feels like a hundred years during family gatherings. So, to keep those tiny hands busy (and out of the deviled eggs until it’s time to eat), I’ve whipped up something special – a free printable Easter activity placemat!
Using these fun free printable holiday placemats is a great way to keep your kiddo, focused and engaged during the family Easter dinner, or lunch.
Since it’s something new and different, brought out just for these holiday gatherings, it has that novelty value to keep them occupied.
It’s so cute to see their little forehead scrunched up in concentration as they navigate a cute Easter-themed maze. Or the pride in their eyes when they win a game of tic-tac-toe against their Cousin.
These placemats have it all – mazes to solve, eggs to color, lines to trace, and even a little counting game to sneak in some learning.
I love seeing my kids’ creativity bloom as they color in their placemats with all the shades of spring.
And let’s be honest, it’s not just fun for them. We get to enjoy our meal and catch up with family while the kiddos are happily occupied. It’s a win-win!
Using these placemats is also a great way to help your kids develop fine motor skills and problem-solving abilities. And the best part? They won’t even realize they’re learning because they’ll be too busy having fun.
Trust me, the adults might be tempted to join in too. (I may or may not have spent a good ten minutes helping my little one color the Easter bunny’s basket last year.)
So, why not add a little extra joy to your family Easter dinner? You can print out a bunch of these activity placemats and have them ready at the kids’ table.
You might even find that the kids will want to take them home – which, in my book, is the sign of a successful Easter gathering!
At the end of this post, you’ll find the link to download the free PDF. Just hit print, lay out some crayons or markers, and you’re all set for a fuss-free, fabulous Easter dinner with the family.
