So, part 2 of my Easter fun blog post is a bit more optimistic. If the sun comes out, or even if the temperature rises by a few degrees, we can all get outside and suddenly, there are lots more opportunities!
Of course, there will be loads of organised Egg Hunts, I will leave it to to you to take your pick. We have done quite a few over the years and they all follow a similar formula. Follow clues, hunt for eggs, eat chocolate. The kids love them.
However, the Easter holidays are over 2 weeks long so I am guessing there will opportunities for lots of other fun. Here are some ideas from myself and some of the mums on our Facebook page!
1) Put a tent up in the garden. We did this a couple of years ago for the Easter holidays and not only our kids, but their friends, had so much fun! The younger ones played in it during the day, using it as a den in the garden, and the older ones slept in it, taking it in turns to invite friends! Simple, but so much fun...
2) Fly a kite. We did this at the weekend and if I am honest, it was a bit chilly. But I have to admit we had all forgotten the simple pleasure of flying a kite and if it was warmer could have easily spent half a day watching it soar!
3) Bike ride. We love bikes in our house, and as far as we are concerned they are never too young to be on a bike! There are a multitude of baby/toddler seats available and the more we all cycle the better the world would be (that might be over simplifying it a bit but you get the idea!)
4) A picnic. What is not to love in a picnic? Pack some yummy treats and head to your favourite spot. Take a ball, a bug catcher and a book (ever hopeful!) You never know, if its a real success you may even get 10 minutes to read that book!
5) Family walk. Organise a group of friends and meet them for a walk. I am always amazed how much further the kids will walk if they have a group of friends to play with on the way round. A photo trail is a good way to keep them going. Take photos of certain features or landmarks on the route (a bit of planning required) and get everyone spotting them on the way round. A few small prizes at the end will add to the excitement!
If you have any great ideas for things to do with the family over the Easter holidays, please share them. The more the merrier!
Happy Easter folks x
