Three Fun Things for Children to Do this Easter

Are you running out of ways to keep the kids (and yourself) entertained these school holidays? Here are three things you can do this Easter weekend that are fun and won’t cost a lot of cash.

1. Easter egg rolling

Egg rolling is an ancient tradition.

Hard boil some eggs (for at least 10 minutes) and decorate them. Small children will love bright colours and funny faces, while older ones can get more creative Faberge-style.

Find a good egg rolling course; a gently sloping grassy knoll is perfect. Mark the start and finish lines. Roll your eggs and see who wins.

For a more competitive egg roll, make it the best of five, seven or more – or turn it into a bowling-style game.

2. Scrambled Easter egg hunt

This is an egg hunt with a difference. It’s educational as well as fun and works perfectly well indoors if it’s wet.

Choose one place to hide your Easter eggs. Now write each letter of that place on a Post-it note. It can be easier or harder according to your children’s ages. For example, SHED or UNDERSTAIRSCUPBOARD.

Now hide the individual Post-it notes in different places around the house or garden.

The aim of the game is for the players to find all the notes. Then, unscramble the letters and find where their Easter eggs are hidden.

3. Get crafty

Call into a local craft or discount store and pick up a selection of colourful crafting materials – felt, wool, colourful card and face paint.

Gather everyone together around the kitchen table. Make Easter bunny ears, whiskers and noses to wear and then get creative with the face paint.

Now for the really fun bit. Take pictures and videos and share them with family and friends (or on social media if you feel comfortable doing that).

It’s a great way to share the joy of Easter with relatives who can’t be there in person to join the celebrations.
