DIY Easter baskets

Let your kids get creative and make their own Easter baskets with colourful paper, ribbons, and decorations.

Fill them with treats or small gifts for a personalised touch.

This is a great way to involve your kids in the gift-giving process and make Easter even more special.

Easter egg hunt

This classic Easter activity never gets old.

Hide different shapes and sizes of eggs around your backyard and let your kids go on a scavenger hunt to find them.

The one who collects the most eggs can win a little prize.

Easter picnic

If the weather is nice, have a picnic in your backyard or at a nearby park.

Pack some Easter-themed snacks and enjoy the outdoors together.

If you’re going to a park, don't forget to take a blanket and some games or activities to keep the kids entertained.

You can even include a little Easter egg hunt while you are out there.
