Game/Activity: Fill plastic Easter eggs (or discarded toilet paper tubes with beads or pebbles, and seal tightly.  Put on some fast-paced music, and shake your hand-made maracas to the beat.

Snack: Cook an easy cheese quesadilla.  Sprinkle shredded cheese on one half of a flour tortilla.  Then fold the tortilla closed, and microwave for 45 seconds.

Craft: Make a piñata out of a balloon, newspaper strips, and flour paste.  Family Fun has a great tutorial!
