33 EASTER PUNS TO BUG YOUR KIDS WITH
If you are anything like me, you love to come up with puns and Dad Jokes (though in my case Mom Jokes) that make your kids roll their eyes and groan. I mean I can’t help being a cool Mom like that haha!
So I’ve scoured the internet for the best Easter related puns to try on my kids this Easter weekend and wanted to share my favourites with all of you ‘cool’ parents too!
But first, here’s a cute bunny to make you go aweeeee….
Easter related puns first… Okay let’s Hop to it! ;)
1. Hoppy Easter! - It’s a classic for a reason and it makes the top of our list because it can be used frequently with kids and everyone you meet this weekend. Grandmas, cousins, uncles, will all appreciate this one and it works for everyone you greet in stores. So definitely try it out with the cashier when you are grabbing those last minute buns you forgot! (Hot cross pun, anyone?)
2. Not into using such an obvious pun? Want a subtle one to see if people are paying attention? Then Happy Easter to my peeps! is the right one for you! Use it first or use it last for the extra special groan only candy lovers will appreciate.
3. Who else is egg-cited for Easter? I mean it’s classic Dad joke material. I actually use it all year anytime eggs might be used in a recipe or for breakfast. The kids (10 and 13 now) used to think this was hilarious when they were younger, now not so much but you can’t stop using it once you start (like dip for your chickie nuggies as my daughter lovingly calls chicken nuggets - she didn’t even know that her pun could be applied to this list too!)
4. Don’t be a basket case! - I suggest only using this one if your kids are ‘pecking’ at each other over Easter weekend as kids tend to do when lots of chocolate is involved … but don’t use it on your husband. He may not think it’s as funny as you do …. or test it and let me know so I can share with my readers lol.
Cue an adorable newborn with a bunny in 3, 2, 1…
aweeeeeee … okay enough cuteness back to work!
Bunny and Chick Puns
Oh it’s going to be puntastic, you just wait...
5. For those 80’s babies like me: Hip Hop, and you don’t stop. You can just throw this in with a little butt wiggle dance… you know the one where you stand in front of the tv show your kids are watching to either make them laugh or groan or pay attention to you or all three at the same time…. No? Just me? okay moving right along then.
6. Hope is a 24-carrot day! Now this ones for the parents who love a little extra bling in their lives - you know who you are.
7. You know when the kids have been fighting in the backseat on the way to Grandma’s house and you pull up in the driveway and you turn your head around (not like all the way like an owl or the exorcist but like that slow parent turn where your kids know you’re serious and they stop fighting and hold their breath to see what comes out of your mouth and you stare at them both before you start to talk and it’s been like the most annoying 20 minute drive to Grandma’s house because you’ve patiently been telling them to stop fighting, with your ‘nice voice’, because it’s a family holiday voice, not your ‘my patience is wearing thin voice’ because you want them to have happy memories from this holiday to fill one of their core memory balls and not have it turn blue but be that sweet gold colour (that’s an Inside Out reference, if you know, you know) and you need the kids to stop fighting so you need the perfect thing to say to break tension and get people to be happy before giving hugs to all of your relatives you haven’t seen in a while?
…. whew …. this is it.
This is what you say to remind your kids that they are loved and you are a team unit because …. We’re one big hoppy family!
8 & 9. This ones for all the sophisticated Father’s out there or Uncles who pun a lot. That’s neither hare nor there. Silent but deadly. Will it be noticed? Can you slip it in a casual conversation with your brother? Will anyone catch your brillance at all? Only time will tell but I’m all ears today waiting to find out.
10&11. I have so many egg puns, it’s not bunny. WOAH! Slow down now! That’s a twofer. Catching a twofer like that takes skills and I don’t want you to put all your eggs in one basket but I think you have the skill to pull this one off!
12 and a secret 13. So you have littles at home and you’re not sure if these puns are just too big for your young children. Don’t worry, be hoppy. I have you covered with a classic ‘Some bunny loves you very much’. This can work in a card to your kid or with bunny kisses on the nose. Ah, I miss bunny kisses… I’m going to see if my kids will do that with me still this weekend, I’ll report back but I think my Mama’s boy will definitely indulge me, he’s so stinking cute even with his giant man feet.
13 and sneaky 14. Another one for the young kids or babies is I’d hop to the moon and back for you. It’s a little play on the I love you to the moon and back saying but definitely Easter related and will definitely get you a giggle from a little one, especially if you show them how you can ‘Hop to it’ as you say it so they totally get what the pun is. This is the way to slowly prepare them for many years of ‘Dad' Jokes and fun.
15. And throw in a There’s just no bunny like you too. They’ll love that … big eye rolls for that one from the older crowd.
16-23. See your spouse over there? Getting that meal together like a boss. This is the time to throw in a Hey there, hop stuff and grab a quick cuddle when the kids are distracted with all the chocolate they are consuming, that you’ll regret later. And if they ask what you are doing just say you’re Pickin’ up chicks but just know they could be Fresh outta clucks for your im-peck-able puns for peep’s sake! But if we’re two peeps in a pod then you have to ask yourself if you’re feeling clucky? I think you are so I would just tell your spouse to Chick you out and start in with the classic chicken dance (ah I miss wedding receptions, it’s been forever since I’ve been at one…hey google, play the chicken dance song).
cue an adorable baby in bunny ears with Easter eggs looking adorable… oh my gosh the little pout… aweeeeeee… cuteness overload!
Don’t crack a joke! It’s Easter.
Egg Puns….
24 & 25 & 26. I’m eggs-hausted just thinking of all the egg related jokes and puns available… I eggs-pect this Easter to be lots of fun. No eggs-cuses!
27 & 28. If you are having a conversation with your nephew and he’s telling you all about how well he’s doing in school don’t be afraid to announce to the whole house that He’s a good egg and you can even throw in that he’s really egg-ceptional!
29 & 30. & 31. At this point in the day you could ask if anyone was egg-noring you or egg-noyed by you telling so many Easter jokes and puns and you may have people groaning a lot but honestly Omelettin’ this slide because this opportunity only happens once a year and you really have to go all in. Or at least pick and choose your faves and of course know your audience!!!
32 & 33. As you can tell I’m eggs-tremely ready for this egg hunt and I just wanted to help you out so you too can bug your kids this weekend or if it gets quiet you could tell an Easter yolk.
In the famous words of Porky Pig… that’s all, yolks!
p.s. be a deer and share this blog post with your peeps so they can bug their kids this Easter too.
Stay yolk my friends!
