Eggcellent fun: Activities for the Easter holiday
We’ve had our fair share of trying to entertain the kids this year. But, with most children having been back at school for a few weeks now, why not make the most of the break together. Of course, for us, there’ll be lots of chocolate Easter egg hunting involved. But if you’re stuck for ideas on other things to do, why not try some of these.

1. Go fl y a kite! Kids love fl ying kites and seeing them soar through the air. You could let your child choose one or get creative and make one. Either way, once they master how to keep it up in the air, it’s the best feeling all round. If your little one is too small to hold a kite, make a smaller one they can pull along in the air behind them.
2. Sow sunfl ower seeds. Now is a great time to plant sunfl ower seeds.
They are a really easy fl ower to grow and grow quickly enough for little ones to see the results of their nurturing. They just need a warm, sunny spot on a windowsill to start them off.
3. Enjoy a walk – there are some lovely places in our beautiful town.
Why not head out for some fresh air, go on a bear hunt in your local woods, go nature spotting or take a treasure map with you, and tick things off as you see them.
4. Camp out in the garden. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to go anywhere for a little while. But why not bring the fun home and sleep under the stars in your garden in a tent with a sleeping bag. If it gets cold outside, you can always retreat into the comfort of the living room.
