We have a little play group from church for the preschool age kids. I am in charge of the Easter party next Wednesday. There are usually about 8 moms and 12 kids. Most of the kids are age 2 - 3 years old. I need help. This will be the first time that I host a little kid get together or party EVER. I don't know what to do. Please, please share your ideas.I know most of you have been doing kid Easter parties, etc. for a while. Do you have any fun ideas for crafts? I want to have a few games. And what about snacks? Any and all ideas for a fun party are appreciated. Thank you. Thank you.

Sounds like fun Alicia. Of course you should do an easter egg hunt if possible. And the best website for crafts and kid stuff is dltk-kids.com I use that website for preschool age fun all the time.
I love having them collect the eggs, or play some other game, by color. You could have a sheet of paper with the colors on it so they know what they are looking for. Or play a sorting game, everyone gets jelly beans, sort by color. You can have a paper for that, too, like 3 blues, 2 greens, etc. You can make shakers out of the plastic eggs. Fill them with different things for different sounds. For a craft make flowers out of cup cake liners, make a garden on a piece of paper. Have a wonderful party.
Our Easter Party is the one party each year where we don't plan anything. We all go to the park and bring 6 filled eggs per child that will be hunting. We let the kids play while we hide them, and then let them hunt. We also each bring a snack/drink/treat to share. The kids just love to run and play and eat.
(Sorry. I just realized that it is still too cold there to just go to a park. Look at the site Teresa gave.)
Aw, man. Everybody's got to make their own bunny ears. Headband, construction paper, cotton balls. You could follow it up with a little face-painting. Bunny nose. Whiskers.
I'll keep thinking about this...
I forgot to mention my favorite thing to serve at an Easter Party- those little nests made out of chow mein noodles and marshmallows. Fill them with jelly beans. My kids ask all year to make these.
