Pro Tip: Prep as much as you can a day ahead. It’ll free you up to enjoy your celebration with family and friends.
Make Easter Egg Hunts Extra Special
No Easter is complete without the excitement of an Easter egg hunt! Add a creative twist to make it unforgettable.
Themed Egg Hunts: For little ones, consider a garden-themed egg hunt with hidden toy bunnies and chicks. For adults, fill eggs with small prizes like gift cards or thoughtful notes.
Glow-in-the-Dark Hunt: Plan an evening egg hunt by placing small LED tea lights or glow sticks inside translucent eggs. It’s fun and unique!
Egg Hunt Clues: Instead of a free-for-all, hide eggs with clues leading participants to the next hiding spot. It adds an exciting scavenger hunt element for older kids or adults.
Tip for hosts with limited space: If you live in an apartment or have a small yard, use your balcony or living room. Hide eggs in unexpected spots like potted plants or behind furniture.
Create New Family Traditions
Easter is all about spending time with the people who matter most. Keep the holiday meaningful by incorporating fun, family-centred activities.
DIY Egg Decorating: Create a station with paint, markers, and stickers for guests young and old to decorate eggs together. Try trendy techniques like marbling or tie-dye for a modern twist.
Craft Corner: Have kids create bunny masks, paper flower bouquets, or handmade Easter cards for loved ones. Click here to download our printable colouring in pages.
Storytime or Movie Night: Share Easter bedtime stories or gather the family to watch classic movies like Hop or The Tale of Peter Rabbit.
Bake Together: Make Easter-themed cookies, cakes, or cupcakes together. Kids will enjoy adding colourful frosting, sprinkles, and candy decorations.
Keep It Simple and Flexible
If you’re short on time or space, don’t stress about being over-the-top. Simple touches like a bowl of chocolate eggs on the coffee table or Easter-themed tea towels in the kitchen can instantly brighten your home.
Focus on what matters most – spending time with loved ones and creating a warm atmosphere where everyone feels welcome.
