Easter egg rolling
Ready, steady, roll! A traditional Easter race down a grassy slope.
*Illustrative age guidance. Your child's development and circumstances matter more than a number.
A tiny plan for your day
Estimated time: 5 min to decorate · 13 min to roll · 2 min to tidy. It's fine to stop early.
Before you start
What you’ll need
- Hard-boiled eggs, cooled, one each
- Felt pens to decorate
- A gentle grassy slope
Let's begin
Five simple steps
That's the whole activity. Tick each step off as you go, and stop whenever you like.
Decorate your egg with faces, stripes or spots.
Line up at the top of the slope.
Ready, steady, roll!
Whose egg goes furthest? Whose stays in one piece?
Peel and eat the winning egg, if it's still clean.
All done!
That's every step. However it went, you made a little moment together.
