Easter Sensory Play Ideas for Preschoolers

Looking for fun and engaging Easter sensory play ideas for your preschooler? Check out these sensory activities that will keep your little one entertained for hours! From fluffy Easter-themed playdough to colorful sensory bins filled with eggs and bunnies, these hands-on experiences will provide a multisensory learning experience. Get ready for some egg-citing and egg-straordinary Easter sensory play fun with your little bunnies!

Easter Sensory Play Activities

Spring is in full bloom, and Easter is just around the corner! It's the perfect time to engage your preschoolers in playful and educational sensory activities. Here is a list of activities you can try this spring with your preschoolers.

Dyed Rice Easter Bin

Rice is one of our favorite sensory bin fillers and you can quickly dye it different colors using liquid watercolors or food coloring. There are so many different ways you can use the dyed rice. We had a blast using the various eggs to fill an egg that we created with cardboard. You can also use it as a sensory bin filler with plastic eggs for a quick and fun hunt.

Dying Easter Eggs

Whether at home or at school dying easter eggs is such a fun activity and there are so many fascinating and cool ways to dye them. Find a fun kit and try it out with your preschoolers.

Teacher tip: this one can get a little messy so be sure to put down newspaper or a throw away table cloth.

Chick Feathers Feely Bag

Fill a bag with soft feathers and tiny chick figurines. Challenge preschoolers to identify and describe what's in the bag solely through touch. This is a great activity that preschoolers can do with a partner. 

Easter Egg Assembly

Give your preschoolers a basket of eggs that are disassembled and encourage them to put them back together. While this sounds so simple it's actually boosting fine-motor skills while working on color matching. To add another element of sensory place the eggs in a sensory bin filled with water and try it!

Carrot Garden Dig

Bury plastic carrots in a bin filled with soil, oats, or kinetic sand. Preschoolers can engage in a sensory dig, discovering hidden carrots.

Easter Sink or Float

Preschoolers love sink or float! It's so fun to make predictions and then watch what happens in action. Take this traditional activity but make it Easter style. Fill eggs with various items and have preschoolers predict what will happen.

Jelly Bean Sorting

Turn a simple sensory bin into a colorful adventure by filling it with jelly beans. Encourage fine motor skills and color recognition as preschoolers sort the jelly beans into different containers using small spoons or tongs.

Easter Basket Math

These Easter Basket Math Recipe cards add up to a lot of Easter fun for preschoolers! Pair with play dough or in easter grass for added sensory fun!

Fluffy Chick Play-Dough

Make homemade playdough and add yellow food coloring to create a chick-inspired sensory experience. Provide feathers, googly eyes, and small beaks for children to decorate their fluffy chicks while developing fine motor skills. 

Easter Egg Water Play

Fill a sensory bin or tub with a bit of soapy water and fill it with eggs. Provide your preschoolers with various scooping utensils to have them pick up the eggs!

Easter Sensory Bottles

Fill clear plastic bottles with water, glitter, sequins, and mini plastic eggs to create mesmerizing sensory bottles. Children can shake, observe, and marvel at the swirling colors and textures within the bottles.

Egg Feelings 

This social-emotional activity is a great one for preschoolers to work on identifying feelings and describing the various emotions on the eggs. You can also turn this into a matching activity, too!

Easter Bunny Fluffy Slime

Create a soft and fluffy slime using shaving cream, glue, and a touch of pastel-colored paint. Add bunny and egg-shaped confetti for even more sensory fun!

Easter Egg Sensory Shakers

​Fill plastic eggs with different materials such as rice, beads, or small bells. Seal the eggs and let children shake them to explore various sounds and textures.

​Easter Egg Ice Sensory Play

Freeze plastic eggs filled with water and small toys. Place the frozen eggs in a sensory bin, allowing preschoolers to explore the cold, melting sensations as they free the treasures inside.

Magnetic Eggs

Fill the Easter eggs with magnetic objects and provide your preschoolers with magnetic wants to practice picking up the Easter eggs and transferring them. A cool way to explore magnets!

Small World Easter Play

Invite your preschoolers to create a small world play with bunnies, eggs, and Easter themed props. The best part about small world play is it encourages preschoolers to use their imagination!

Painting with Peeps

Easter Egg Sound Matching

Fill plastic eggs with different materials like rice, beans, or small bells. Create pairs with matching sounds and let children shake and match the eggs by sound, enhancing auditory discrimination skills.

Touching Peeps is a sensory experience in itself, they are squishy and mushy! Use them as stampers by having your preschoolers dip the Peeps in various colors and then stamping them onto paper.

Easter sensory play provides an engaging way for preschoolers to explore their senses, fostering creativity, fine motor skills, and cognitive development through themed and hands-on activities. We hope you found an activity or two that you can use in your preschool classrooms for a fun Easter and spring celebration.
