Easter resources for younger children, EYFS and KS1
Easter Feelings Hunt
This Easter hunt combines emotional learning with a mindful scavenger hunt! Cut out our cards and task your child with finding things in their environment that makes them feel these eight emotions - happy, calm, sad, proud, angry, hopeful, excited and loved. Make sure they tick off each emotion when they find something and write it on the card!
Little Chick Emotions
Our five little chicks don't have faces! Can your children draw on some emotions? Make sure they label the emotions above each chick. Can they think of a story why each chick is feeling that emotion?
Emotion Egg Hunt
Another Easter hunt this Easter, this time, your child must hunt the emotion eggs and tick them off when they find them! Cut out the eggs and hide around your home or classroom, then, have children find the eggs. They must match the egg with the emotion and tick it off as they find each one!
Easter Egg Breathing
We have four different designs of our Easter Egg Breathing sheets, simply print and let your child choose which colour egg they wish to trace round each day!
Create an Easter Crown [Craft]
There's always time for a mindful craft - help your children to make their very own Easter Crown in this mindful printable. Colour in the eggs, cut out and make our crown, then stick on the eggs to finish! Best printed on card or 200gsm paper and above.
Match the Emotion
Can your children cut out our emotion eggs and stick them in the right basket? We have 9 emotions to match!

My Easter Wreath
Colour in our Easter Wreath and think of all the amazing things of Easter - write these in the middle! From chocolate to school holidays, from trips to family time - what makes Easter so special? You can find lots more colouring sheets for all ages on the Be Happy Hub now!
The Unbreakable Egg
Time for a fun experiment! Did you know it's almost impossible to crush an egg in your hand? No - we couldn't believe it either! If you hold an egg like our picture above, the egg will not break. This is due to pressure being distributed evenly over the curved shell of the egg. This got us thinking that if something so fragile like an egg can be so unexpectedly strong and keep calm under pressure, then so can we! Can your children think of ways they can keep calm under pressure? Perhaps it's taking a break, taking deep breaths or simply thinking they are as strong and amazing as an egg! - Have them write them in the stripes of our egg.
Doodle Eggs
An egg of dots, an egg of spots, an egg of stars, an egg of hearts, an egg about me, an egg for free, an egg of stripes, an egg of all the things I like! Doodling is a fun way to be mindful and calm, but we know a lot of children can struggle to think of what to doodle! In this egg-themed activity, we've given children some prompts around the eggs to doodle in each egg. Mindfulness guaranteed!
