In Australia, Easter falls in the beginning of autumn, which means there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors and take advantage of the milder temperatures (although depending on where in Australia you live it can still feel like summer days especially here in QLD).
Here are some ideas for how to celebrate Easter with your little ones!
- Picnic in the Park
Pack a basket full of delicious Easter treats and head to a local park for a fun-filled picnic. You can even bring along some Easter-themed games like egg and spoon races or a scavenger hunt to keep the kids entertained.
- Easter Egg Decorating
Set up a crafting station at home and let your kids get creative with decorating Easter eggs. You can use dye, paint, stickers, or even natural materials like leaves and flowers to create unique designs.
- Nature Walk and Easter Egg Hunt
Take advantage of the beautiful autumn weather and go for a nature walk with your little ones. You can bring along baskets to collect fallen leaves, flowers, and other natural treasures. And of course, you can hide some Easter eggs along the way for a fun and festive twist.
- Easter Baking
Get your kids involved in the kitchen by baking some delicious Easter treats together. From hot cross buns to chocolate eggs, there are plenty of traditional Easter foods to try your hand at making.
- Free Easter Art Events
If you're not an arts person and craft at home seems too hard, many shopping centres host FREE Easter workshops for you little ones. Where you can turn up and let them enjoy making something art related or get involved in an Easter activity they have organised. This can be a fun and memorable experience for kids, especially if they get to decorate a set of Easter Bunny Ears.
No matter how you choose to celebrate Easter with your little ones, the important thing is to spend quality time together and make some special memories. Happy Easter!
