Is this a good rainy-day alternative to an outdoor egg hunt?
It is a handy backup. When the weather ruins the hunt, the grid keeps the same spring theme going indoors with no mess.
Easter lands in spring for a reason, and the holiday borrows its imagery straight from the season waking up outside: tulips and daffodils pushing through the soil, fresh pastel colors, and new life in the form of chicks and bunnies. This grid rounds up twelve of those springtime favorites, from the basket and its jellybeans to the bonnet worn for the occasion. Words may travel diagonally or curl back on themselves, so look beyond the neat horizontal lines. It pairs nicely with an egg hunt for a rainy backup plan, a spring craft table, or a worksheet for the week before the long weekend. Want a printed sheet?
