Easter is finally here so get ready for some choc-filled fun and an egg-stravaganza of Easter activities.
Decorate your eggs
Easter wouldn’t be Easter without getting hands messy decorating hard-boiled eggs! First, you need to hard boil the eggs. Everyone has their own method for perfect hard-boiled eggs, but 10-15 minutes in bubbling boiling water should do the trick. Allow the eggs to cool completely before decorating. Use paint, colouring pens, glitter, pressed flowers or fabric to create your egg-citing favourite characters or designs.
Easter hunt at home
With public egg hunts impossible at the moment, create an Easter egg hunt at home. Hide chocolate eggs around the house and leave clues for the wee ones. If you have a garden or outdoor space, use it and aim to get youngsters moving around for as long as possible.
Yummy Easter no-bake treats
A great way to use up leftover chocolate and sweet treats at Easter is to make chocolate bark.
Just melt leftover chocolate and pour into a lined sheet tray, top with more melted chocolate – use white chocolate for contrast – and swirl. Then, scatter marshmallows, mini eggs or chopped up sweets on the top. Set in the fridge. For more tasty Easter recipes visit realfood.tesco.com
Easter crafts
Making your own Easter bunny ears could not be easier! All you need is firm paper/cardboard, colouring pens or paint – and imagination! Cut out a strip of paper/cardboard that’s long enough to fit the circumference of your wee one’s head. Glue the ends together. Cut out bunny ears and decorate before attaching to the front of the head band. Make little bunny noses and use a length of elastic (to hook over your own ears!) to hold the nose in place.
Egg-and-spoon obstacle course
Set up an obstacle course in your garden or indoors (a soft-play one!) and see who can navigate the obstacles without cracking their precious, just-decorated Easter eggs. Remember to make sure those eggs are hard-boiled to avoid messy accidents!
