Easter is such a fun time of year, and there’s plenty of opportunities to get creative with the little ones — from painting eggs to treasure hunts and, of course, healthy Easter recipes!

Holidays are about spending quality family time together and eating…a lot. With so much emphasis on candy and chocolate over Easter, everyone needs a healthy Easter snack idea to balance out the sugar rush.

Are you looking for a cute and easy Easter treat for the kids? Look no further than these fruit Easter eggs for kids. They are healthy, bright and colorful, and oh-so-tasty!

These Easter Fruit Snacks Make Adorable and Healthy Easter Treats for Kids

We used candy melts to dip the fruit but you could go extra healthy with some yogurt instead. We like these frozen so the melts harden right away. You could easily do the same and have a frozen yogurt fruit treat! We love making frozen yogurt bark this way for an easy yummy snack for kids.

Simply slice your favorite fruits, and use kitchen scissors or a sharp knife to cut around the shape to turn into an oval for an egg shape.

Don’t worry about getting it perfect as you can tell ours aren’t perfectly oval egg shapes. Once you dip and sprinkle they will look more like decorated eggs.

Shop Local for Your Healthy Easter Snacks

Spring is a season filled with color and scents, and this bright little spring finger food favorite is all about the fruit. You can use whatever is in-season and create your own variety of spring color combinations.

It’s a great opportunity to discuss the importance of shopping locally and buying in-season products with kids while making it fun and positive. You can get your children excited about seeking out the brightest and best local fruits to feast on.

The touch of candy with the natural fruit flavor is guaranteed to satisfy your sweet tooth, but of course, you can omit the candy for a healthy Easter snack.

How to Make These Healthy Easter Treats

Begin by freezing the fruit as this makes them easier to handle and dip. We simply laid out the cut fruit on some parchment paper and froze for an hour or until firm.

The dipping and sprinkling is the fun part for kids. Lay out a sprinkle station, small bowls filled with sprinkles and have kids dip and add sprinkles on top. You could also add some finely chopped nuts to make fruit and nut easter eggs.

Remember since the fruit is cold, the dip will freeze fast so you have to sprinkle quick before it sets. We chose sprinkles in spring colors, but you can use any variety of toppings.

Use melted chocolate, candy melts , or yogurt as your dip for these fun Easter healthy treats. Add back to the freezer for a quick freeze before consuming.

We actually keep them cold this way, my kids love frozen fruit! And they last much longer as well. However, you can also just refrigerate it for a few days for softer fruit and a delicious Easter fruit dessert

Slice up your favorite fruits for this healthy Easter egg fruit treat. It's the perfect showstopper for an Easter brunch, spring treat or party snack.
