I love Easter, I’m the least religious person in our house but I’m sure I’m always the keenest to celebrate it! I think we need an excuse to come together and celebrate as a family, I love the changing of the seasons to something more hopeful. These blossom filled Easter Tree decorations are simple enough for kids to make but pretty enough for grown ups to enjoy doing too. For rather obvious reasons they won’t last forever, but they’re a great activity for while you’re waiting for Easter lunch to cook and the perfect way to decorate the table.
Spring and Easter
Yoghurt Bottle Butterflies
Two exciting things to share with you today, firstly I’ve got a little tutorial for you on how I made these fun yoghurt bottle butterflies using Yakult bottles and then I’ve got some news on how you can do some crafting yourself and be in with the chance of winning £500 Hobbycraft vouchers to fund your craft stash. How cool is that?!
Easter Egg Sensory Bin
‘Wow!’ You know an activity is going well when that’s one of the main things your child is saying! My toddler has been a bit obsessed with sensory bins recently and to be honest, as they keep her busy for so long I’m becoming a bit obsessed with them too! She spotted these eggs and demanded they were bought, a few simple additions and we had a fun Easter egg sensory bin that is great for fine motor skills, sensory exploration and most of all, fun!
Spring Flower Sensory Soup
Last week we were asked if we would like to review something from House of Fraser’s fab range of outdoor toys. We love sharing sensory play ideas for kids and activities for toddlers so I knew instantly that I wanted to try them out with a water table. They had a great time when it was first opened playing with the boats in the moat and generally getting wet and having a good time! The next day I decided that I wanted to try something a little different out so, with some help from my son I set up this simple Spring flower sensory soup for them to play with.
Surprise Egg Chicks
Are your kids obsessed with Surprise Eggs? My son is. Given half a chance he would spend all day watching surprise egg videos on YouTube and would make them the main part of his diet. Thankfully his mother won’t quite allow that yet! With Easter just around the corner I thought it would be fun to make something with them, these Surprise Egg Chicks would be great for hiding clues to an Easter Egg Hunt in or perhaps hiding a few mini-eggs or jelly beans?
