Fun, Low Budget Easter Activities

Are you prepared for Easter?   Easter is only weeks away and I know that you want to make it a good day for your families.  I also know many of us are on a budget.  That does not, however,  mean that we have to be too stressed about money to enjoy ourselves.  The fact is, you don’t need to have expensive things and spendy activities to make it a great day.

Here are some fun, low budget Easter Activities that you can do to keep your family having fun, while you are able to keep from being too stressed about finances.

Neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt.  Many towns and neighborhoods hold community Easter Egg Hunts that are typically free for kids and feature lots of fun prizes and treats.  These Easter Egg hunts are typically broken down into different age categories so that the hunts are fair for all of the kids.  

Pot-Luck.  Want to have a get together with everyone, but don’t want to fork out all of the money that it would typically take to do that?  How about you host a pot-luck?  Each person or family can bring a dish and everyone can enjoy themselves without breaking the bank.

BBQ.  BBQ’s can be a fun, inexpensive party idea and since Easter falls as Spring is just getting started, you might actually find yourself with some nice weather to enjoy.  This is a way to have dinner for everyone, but can be much cheaper than a typical formal-type dinner.

Egg Painting Party.  Grab some Easter Egg Dye, some colorful paint, crayons and other fun decorating tools and invite your friends and family over.  Be sure to have your guests bring over their own cartons of eggs and have fun decorating!
