This year, Easter is going to be a particularly unique holiday for many families around the world. We are all being told to stay home, stay healthy and to not hold gatherings. So, you may be thinking to yourself - But what about the kids?
Most children likely never have, and hopefully never will again, face this experience, but we as parents and grandparents can do our best to protect them and keep them sane through this whole ordeal. Whether you are homeschooling your kids or just sharing the holiday with them, there are lots of fun and crafty activities you can do together.
Here are our top picks to keep your kids sane this Easter:
1. Easter Egg Decorating - Painting eggs, rocks or wooden pieces to hide on Easter Sunday is a crafty option to keep the kids occupied for the week prior. Tell them the more painted items they create, the more they get to find on the day of the 'hunt' to keep them excited for the weekend and busy creating. Click here for fun Easter craft ideas.
3. Host an Easter inspired fashion show - Have a little fashionista or two in your household? Inspire them to get creative with their passion for fashion by creating an Easter inspired collection of costumes or pieces.
4. Bunny hop race - If you can spare a few old pillow cases, then you have yourself some excellent quality bunny hop race materials! Get the kids to decorate them with fun Easter colors or patterns for extra creativity points towards a special treat!
5. Easter Bake Off - Little bakers are so adorable and baking with your kiddos creates lasting memories for them. "We find delight in the beauty and happiness of children that makes the heart too big for the body." - Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 – 1882)
