Organize a scavenger hunt with pictures during an Easter walk with children.
With a little preparation, you can organize an exciting Easter scavenger hunt for your children. Walk the route beforehand and photograph particularly distinctive features such as a large rock, a beautifully blossoming tree, a fork in the path in the forest, a large knothole, etc. Print out the pictures and ask your children to pay close attention during their Easter walk and find all these places. Everyone who spots one of the objects in the pictures gets a stamp or a sticker. Whoever has the most objects at the end wins.
For those who want more and have more time to prepare, the first picture, showing the first destination, can be given to the child before the hike, and the remaining pictures can be well hidden at the respective locations. A small treasure or an Easter nest awaits the children at the last station.

Keep your eyes and ears open while walking; it certainly won't be long before you spot your first bird, a bee, or a particularly beautiful flower. During a scavenger hunt, children experience the forest in a very intense way.
Who discovered the most things at the end of the walk?
Hiding Easter eggs during an Easter walk with children
An Easter egg hunt is simply part of Easter and can easily be combined with an Easter walk. One person goes ahead and hides the eggs along the path. If you live in a more secluded area, the eggs can also be hidden the day before. If you're searching for Easter eggs with several children, it helps to mark the eggs with dots to avoid arguments if one child finds all the eggs and there are none left for the younger ones.
Easter egg rolling competition during an Easter walk with children
Roll your hard-boiled eggs. A small hill works best for this. The person whose egg rolls the farthest wins a prize.
Walking barefoot through the forest or across the meadow during an Easter walk with children
Walking barefoot is the most primal and natural way to walk. When children walk barefoot, the muscles in their feet have to compensate for the small unevenness of the ground. This not only trains the foot muscles but is also a lot of fun. Children perceive different surfaces with their feet, just as they do with their fingers. They feel the morning dew on the meadow, the soft moss in the forest, the warm roots of trees, the soft sand, or even small stones under their feet. This stimulation of the soles of the feet creates neural connections that support the brain development of young children.
Experience nature with all your senses
For a short break, a little sensory journey is perfect, and it's great to do with children. Stand in a beautiful spot in the woods or a meadow with open arms and closed eyes, and experience nature with all your senses. Ask your child the following questions:
“What does your skin feel?”
“What do your ears hear?”
“What does your nose smell?”
“Can you taste anything?”
“Open your eyes and look up.” What can you see?”
