4 Fun Things To Do with Friends & Family at Easter

If the almost limitless daily processions, religious gatherings and church services aren’t your thing, then try some of these ideas and make Easter a family week to remember. In fact, do ALL these three things at the same time AND maybe try a Festival or Procession as well! What a week!

1. Organise an Egg Hunt

There’s nothing like an exciting egg hunt on Easter. While egg hunts are more attractive to kids, there’s no reason why you can’t enjoy an egg hunt as an adult. With the right type of chocolate eggs, most adults will jump at the opportunity to add more chocolate to their baskets!

However, keep in mind that organising an egg hunt involves more organisation than simply placing eggs at random locations. There are so many ways you can turn an egg hunt into something special this Easter 2023.

A good egg hunt should have puzzles, clues, anticipation, and more. It’s also a great way to connect with family and friends and bring everyone together. And if chocolate eggs aren’t enough to motivate older kids and adults, you can include prizes for those that find the most eggs. The important thing is to be creative and get everyone together.

2. Go camping

If you really want to get outdoors, go camping! You can fall asleep under the stars and wake up to the soothing sounds of Mother Nature. When you go camping, you come back rejuvenated. Costa del Sol is filled with a variety of campsites, whether that’s near the sea, in a park or landlocked in the middle of rural Spain.

3. Do Arts and Crafts

Easter is a great time to put your creativity to work. You can make decorative pots and plates, pot plants, artwork, and other crafts. There are countless arts and crafts projects to keep you busy on Easter, and you’ll feel proud of your achievements when the artwork is completed. Besides, the experience of creating your own artwork is unmatched and stays with you for life.

While there’s no restriction on the type of artwork to create on Easter, it’s best to go with an Easter theme. Try decorating existing objects with bunnies, eggs, or other Easter symbols. If you run out of ideas, try one of these arts and crafts projects:

Make a decorative Easter Bunny. Sewing bunny-themed socks and scarves. Decorating Easter eggs with paint. Making Easter egg-shaped vases and pot plants. Many of these projects can be done with kids, so it’s best if you try to get your children involved. However, even solo art projects can be entertaining.

4. Try Your Luck at Baking

Easter has always been synonymous with baking. Whether it’s freshly baked hot cross buns, bread or cakes, there is a range of recipes you can try to stay busy this Easter Weekend. If you’re an experienced baker, Easter is the perfect time to put your skills to the test. And if you have zero experience with baking, there’s no better time to start.

Remember, Easter is a great time to spend with friends and family, so try getting your kids and family to help you make Easter dishes and it will turn into a wonderful experience for everyone. We’ve added a delicious Easter Apple Cake Recipe for you to try - see the recipe on page xx
