Gather supplies like food colouring, markers, stickers, and paint, and let your imagination run wild. You can even turn it into a friendly competition to see who can create the most egg-ceptional designs!
Homemade Easter Treats - Spend quality time in the kitchen whipping up delicious Easter treats with your little chefs. From classic hot cross buns to colourful Easter cookies and chocolate nests, there are endless recipes to try. Get everyone involved in the baking process and enjoy the sweet rewards together.

From handmade Easter cards and bunny masks to paper plate chicks and Easter wreaths, there's a craft for every age and skill level. Raid your craft stash or recycle household items to create masterpieces that you can proudly display around the house.
Easter Garden Scavenger Hunt - Turn your garden or local park into an Easter wonderland with a scavenger hunt. Hide colourful plastic eggs, small toys, or Easter-themed treats around the garden, and let the little ones hunt for treasures. It's a fantastic way to get outdoors, enjoy some fresh air, and burn off energy while having a blast.
Nature Walks and Bird Watching - Explore the beauty of nature with a leisurely stroll through your local park or woods. Keep an eye out for signs of spring, like blooming flowers, budding trees, and chirping birds. Bring along a pair of binoculars and a bird identification book to spot feathered friends and learn about their habitats.
Easter Movie Marathon - Host an Easter movie marathon for a cozy day of family-friendly entertainment. Snuggle up on the couch with blankets and popcorn, and queue up classic Easter movies like "Hop," "Peter Rabbit," or "The Tale of Peter Rabbit and Benjamin Bunny." It's the perfect way to unwind and enjoy some quality screen time together.
Easter Parade and Fashion Show - Get dressed up in your Easter best and host a family Easter parade and fashion show. Strut your stuff down the makeshift runway, showcasing your festive outfits and accessories. Encourage creativity and silliness as you celebrate in style together.
Family Game Night Extravaganza - Wrap up the Easter festivities with a family game night extravaganza. Dust off your favourite board games, card games, or puzzles, and challenge each other to friendly competitions. Whether you're a fan of classic games like Monopoly and Scrabble or prefer modern favourites like Pictionary and Uno, there's something for everyone to enjoy.
