Easter is now around the corner so in a nutshell here is 5 easter holiday themed activities to do with children which you can do with toddler age up to ten years.
- Make an easter grotto
A couple of Easter holiday ago my charges decided they wanted to decorate their play shed in the garden and make an Easter grotto. Imagine doing a Christmas grotto but Easter themed and that's exactly what this is. The children used old plant pots, plastic coloured eggs, tissue paper and set to work.
2. Make traditional easter nests
Easy to make and no actual cooking required which is always music to my ears!!! Look online to find a good recipe.
3.Make an easter bonnet
When I have been out and about in the last week I have noticed the supermarkets and hobby craft have some great bonnets for only a few pounds. You can use all types of craft materials with your children to make a beautiful bonnet. Even better if they have an Easter bonnet parade at school or nursery.
4.Easter egg hunts
Two choices here. Throughout the Easter holidays many tourist attractions will do organised Easter egg hunt trails that you can take your children too.
I prefer to create my own one for my charges and in recent years have hidden chocolate and clues around their house and garden. They have always enjoyed this and last year were involved in writing the clues for their sibling. If the children are older and can read clues can be great to extend the activity. If the children are younger you can just hide the chocolate and then hide it.
5.Easter Egg hunt baskets
Before embarking on your egg hunt why not make a basket. Children will love this as they have the chance to be creative and make their basket individual.
