Easter is an exciting time of year for children with lots of chocolate and fun activities to enjoy. Here are some great ideas of activities you can do together.
Easter Egg Hunt
An Easter egg hunt is a classic activity that children of all ages love. You can hide colourful eggs filled with sweets, stickers or even small toys for the children to find. You can make it more challenging for older ones by hiding eggs in more difficult places, or make it easier for younger children by using brightly coloured eggs.
Easter Crafts
Crafts are a great way to get creative and make something special over the Easter holiday. You can make Easter bunny masks or headbands or create a DIY Easter basket. You could even make some Easter-themed decorations to brighten up your home such as paper chains or bunny bunting.
Easter Baking
Baking is a fun activity that the whole family can enjoy. You can bake some delicious Easter-themed treats such as bunny-shaped cookies or cupcakes with pastel-coloured frosting. Not only is it fun to bake together but the finished products will be delicious to eat too.
Easter Storytime
Reading Easter stories is a great way to introduce children to the Easter holiday's traditions and values. You can read books like "The Tale of Peter Rabbit" or "The Velveteen Rabbit," or have your children read their favourite Easter stories aloud.
Planting Seeds
Planting Easter flowers like daffodils, tulips, or lilies is a fun and educational activity for children. They can learn about how plants grow and develop and watch as their flowers bloom over time.
Decorate Easter Eggs
Decorating Easter eggs is a fun and creative activity that children love. You can use different colours and patterns to create unique and colourful designs on the eggs. You can even use natural materials like onion skins, beetroot or spinach to create natural dyes.
Easter Scavenger Hunt
A scavenger hunt is a fun and challenging activity that children will enjoy. You can create Easter-themed clues leading to a hidden basket filled with goodies. It's a great way to get children moving and using their problem-solving skills.
Easter Cards
Help your children make and decorate Easter cards for family and friends. They can use their creative skills to design unique and personalised cards that will be treasured by loved ones.
Easter Movie Night
Snuggling up with the family and watching an Easter movie is a great way to relax and enjoy the holiday season. Classics like "Hop," "Peter Rabbit," or "It's the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown" are perfect choices for a family movie night.
Easter Charity
Teach your children about the importance of giving by donating Easter baskets or volunteering at a local charity. It's a great way to show them that the holiday is about more than just sweets and fun but also about kindness and generosity.
There are many creative and fun activities for children to enjoy during Easter. Whether it's an egg hunt, baking, crafts, or storytime, there are plenty of options to keep your children entertained and happy during the holidays. So, get creative and have fun with your kids this Easter!
