2. Secret Bunny: Acts of Kindness
Fill Easter Eggs with different color paint and let the little ones (and adults too!) throw the Easter eggs against poster board for fun splatter art! On the back, have the kids do their handprints and write the date. Pro Tip - for the tiny toddlers, put their poster board directly on the ground and have them "spike" the eggs at an angle. This will be much easier for them and will mitigate ricochet paint when done at an angle.
