With the Easter holidays on the horizon and snow and rain falling heavily today across the UK, I am experiencing the usual mixture of excitement (I get to spend time with the kids) and dread (I get to spend 2 weeks with the kids and its raining!)
I am not a particularly creative person, but I do enjoy making things, and if this weather continues we wont be doing too many beach walks or Easter egg hunts. So I decided to put out an appeal to all the mummies on our Facebook page for ideas of things to do with the kiddies over the Easter holidays.
These are some of the ideas that came back:
1) Make an Easter tree, decorate it with eggs you have painted, and little fluffy chicks and feathers.
2) The old favourite: chocolate nests filled with mini eggs
3) Make baskets for the eggs you will receive for Easter...this helps keep them organised after Easter so there are no arguments over which egg belongs to whom!
4) Make Easter cards to wish friends and family a Happy Easter. Cute bunnies with cotton wool tails, chicks with folded beaks, collage eggs, you get the idea!
5) A good game to play is the number or alphabet game. You get small squares of paper and write 1,2,3 etc or a,b,c then blue tac all over the house. Ask the little ones to find letter a? or number 1? Then the older kids ask them to make a word by finding the letters, it can last hours and get them running all around. Its
fun both indoors and outdoors.
6) Decorate eggs to look like someone in the family!
7) Make Easter blanket bunnies. This idea came from local crafty mum who runs
Jelly Jam Vintage and Handmade.
We sincerely hope the sun comes out and you have no time for crafting, but if not, we would love to see some pics of your creations!
Thank you to all the super mums who shared their ideas!
