Easter is a time to celebrate the renewal of life with flowers, eggs, rabbits and chicks as you and your family celebrate Easter!\u00a0 Easter commemorates Jesus’ resurrection and the coming of the Spring season when flowers begin to bloom and baby animals are born.\u00a0 What better way to embrace this special time of year than with an Easter party?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Easter Decorations – Decorating for Easter can be lots of fun! You can keep things simple by incorporating traditional baskets around the house filled with eggs, toy animals and spring flowers. Or if you enjoy getting a little more creative, try hanging colourful eggs from a tree, making flowers form tissue paper or even creating an Easter centrepiece by surrounding a candle with decorative grass and tiny blue robin’s eggs.\u00a0 There are countless other ways to get into the spirit of the Easter holiday just by using materials found around the house and tapping into your artistic side.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Easter Egg Colouring- There is a basket full of fun activities to choose from in preparation for Easter that you and your friends and family can enjoy.\u00a0 The first and most popular one that comes to mind is egg decorating.\u00a0<\/span>It is amazing how many fun things you and your kids can do with eggs that include dyeing, painting and decorating with everything from glitter and stickers, to stencils and tissue paper. In addition, newspaper or string Papier-Mache can be handy materials to create model eggs, bunnies or chicks which can be painted spring colours after they dry. These children’s party activities<\/a> and many others are a great way to welcome the Easter bunny and embrace the coming of the Spring season. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Easter Egg hunt and games – There is only one way the children can know for sure that the Easter bunny has come to visit their home: when there are eggs hidden in the garden to snatch up and collect in their baskets! Not only is the “Easter Egg Hunt” the most traditional children’s party game<\/a> of the Easter holiday, but it also allows for a variety of ways to play it.\u00a0 You can have the children in your family collect eggs that they have painted, or plastic ones which you can fill with yummy snacks, chocolate or candy for a sweet surprise. But besides the egg hunt, there are countless other games you and your family can enjoy such as a bunny hop race or Spring art contest to celebrate Easter Sunday.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Easter egg snacks and treats- All those blissful games and activities wouldn’t be the\u00a0<\/span>same without a smorgasbord of savoury Easter dishes and sweet treats to fuel the festivities.\u00a0 In fact, when most people think of Easter, chocolate bunnies, jelly beans and cream-filled eggs easily come to mind! The Lamb roast is an easy choice for a traditional Easter feast, as well as spring vegetables and new potatoes and of course a simnal cake.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
