Combining seasonal fun with arts and crafts will give the Kids hours of fun this Easter.

2. Make some Easter Cookies – Get the kids involved and bake some cookies. Decorate them with Easter themes using brightly coloured icing and sprinkles. Or head over to the Original Biscuit Bakers website to shop our Easter range, choose from our Chick, Mr & Mrs Bunny, Easter Egg & Chick and Deluxe Bunny. https://www.originalbiscuitbakers.co.uk/
3. Hold an Egg Race – Boil the amount of eggs to the amount guests in advance so they have a chance to cool ready to be decorated. Let all the race participants decorate their own egg using glitter, ribbon, paint, buttons etc. Give out soup spoons and let them race to the finish line, the one who passes the finish line without dropping their egg wins.
4. Make Easter Cards – Making Easter cards can be really fun and also really affordable. Colouring pencils, crayons, glitter and some paper are just about all you need to make some cute cards. Getting creative is suitable for all ages and the cards are a great keepsake to send to loved ones.
5. Chocolate Nests – Making chocolate nests is a classic activity to take part in over the Easter break, not only are they delicious, they’re super easy to make. Here’s a quick and easy recipe for you to try out:

• Add 100g of butter, 1 tbsp cocoa powder, 50g milk chocolate buttons and 75g of golden syrup in a bowl.
• Microwave on high for 1.5mins and mix together.
• Crumble 4 Shredded Wheat over the bowl and mix with rest of ingredients.
• In a cupcake tray of 12 add the cupcake cases ready for the mix.
• Place a generous spoonful of the mix into each cupcake case.
• Press the centre of each nest down slightly to form a dip and place 3 chocolate mini eggs in each dip.
• Chill for 30 minutes before serving.

You can get as creative as you like with these, you can place little decorative chicks, crème eggs, edible glitter and much more.

6. Go to a Pet Farm – This is the perfect time of year to visit a pet farm. Now that the long winter is over, it’s a great opportunity to let the children run around and get up, close and personal with the animals. Feeding llamas, holding chicks and feeding lambs their bottle.
