Make it a Treasure Egg Hunt Create a treasure map on a sheet of paper. Cut it into pieces. Put one piece of the map inside several hollow eggs if you have them, or loose if you don’t. They have to find all the pieces to reassemble the map to lead them to the “treasure”. Create an Easter Spider Web Create an Easter spider web by tying the end of a ball of string or wool to the kids’ bedroom door handles then making a long trail out of it which they have to follow all over the house, in and out of furniture, etc. until they reach the eggs. Hunt for Their Names Write names on egg shaped pieces of paper or put names in hollow eggs and have them hunt for their own name. If they find someone else’s name, they have to put it back. Alternatively, use stickers with their names on the outside of chocolate eggs. They can then hand over their name eggs for chocolate versions. Easter Baking Bake some cookies together and decorate them with Easter themes using brightly coloured icing sugar. Create chocolate nests with mini eggs inside, or Easter marshmallow bark. Make Easter Cards Some colouring pencils or crayons, paper and a scissors are just about all you need to make some cute cards. Not only is this one of our favourite Easter activities for kids of all ages, it’s a great keepsake to send to grandparents and loved ones, especially those that may be stuck in isolation. Alternatively, you could print off some fun Easter colouring pages to colour or paint, and maybe put one in the window for walkers to spot when out for their exercise. Or fingerprint bunnies, messy, but lots of fun! Use your thumb print dipped in paint for the head, and your other finger prints to form the rest of the body. Read Some Classics The Tale of Benjamin Bunny, The Tale of Mr. Tod, The Tale of Peter Rabbit and The Tale of the Flopsie Bunnies are lovely stories to read with your children during this time. You may find some great books on Storylineonline.net Storyline Online, streams videos featuring celebrated actors reading children’s books alongside creatively produced illustrations. Watch Some Easter Movies Together Sit down together and watch an Easter themed movie, you may have one at home on DVD or maybe find one on Netflix, Disney+ or Amazon Prime. How about Hop or Rise of the Guardians? Or bunny inspired movies such as Peter Rabbit or Zootopia? Go on a Scavenger Hunt Scavenger hunts are great fun! Let the theme be Easter and off you go! If you haven’t been on one before, use the Indoor Scavenger Hunt List attached to get some ideas. Balloon Keepy Uppy This simple game is great fun for all ages. Everyone stands in a circle and you hit the balloon up in the air. You must all help to keep the balloon up off the ground for as long as possible. For 2 players, you could play balloon tennis by making bats out of paper plates stuck to a wooden spoon. Pin the Tail on the Bunny Print an Easter bunny on cardboard with the tail area visible. Then cut off the tail area. Each player must cut out a circle from white card and glue some cotton wool to it. Stick some blue-tack to the back of each tail and write each players name on their tail. Each player is to be blindfolded before they take their turn of attempting to pin the tail on the bunny.
