1. Get Crafty!

Put on your creative hats and dive into some crafting fun! The holidays are a great time to gather supplies like paint and craft paper, and get young and old imaginations running wild. Try creating an Easter egg or scavenger hunt complete with an “olde worlde” tea-stained map ready for the day, or for younger kids, create dried pasta portraits and finger-painted images… anything you or they can imagine! Perfect for slowing down a little after the excitement of an Easter celebration. You’ll also have their artistic masterpieces to adorn the fridge with too.

2. Whip Up Some Sweet Treats

Springtime holidays are a great time to get together and bake something. There's nothing quite like the aroma of freshly-baked goodies filling the home, so get the kids together, grab your aprons and get messy! The whole family can get involved in making a feast of delicious treats, from salted caramel brownies, to Easter-themed versions of raspberry ripple cookies or the classic crunchy chocolate nests. Make sure to explore our recipes for ideas!

There’s nothing quite like experimenting and crafting personalised milkshakes, from super sweet masterpieces, to those more refined yet still deliciously indulgent drinks. Get started by picking a hot chocolate or milkshake base, then gather together a whole range of toppings, syrups, and other extras to make it your own. From colourful sprinkles speckled over whipped cream, to mini-marshmallows, chopped nuts, or grated chocolate. Spend some time setting up a milkshake station with lots of different flavours for them to experiment with!

4. Family Games & Movie Marathons

As the day progresses, take a moment to unwind with family board games and puzzles. From thought-provoking trivia games and jigsaws, to charades, monopoly, or Pictionary, there’s a huge variety of games to have fun with, all perfect for using up that extra energy and starting to slow down as the night draws in.

Wind down your Easter celebrations with a cosy movie marathon with the family. Set up a makeshift movie theatre with blankets, pillows, snacks and a hot chocolate station, and queue up your favourite films. It's the perfect way to relax and unwind together.
