fun for the holiday!
I’m sure most parents are more than a little fed up with hearing the phrase “I’m bored...” It has been a difficult year for most of us, especially children/ teens who have desperately missed their usual socialising at school and in their free time. We have put together a few ideas to try over the Easter break.
TAKE A VIRTUAL TRIP A number of museums, zoos and other organisations are offering virtual tours, for example the Johnson Space Center - Boeing leads the tour through the Houston, Texas facility, covering the history and future of areospace innovation. Have a search online for some interesting tours, many of which are totally free of charge.
PLAN AN EASTER EGG HUNT
Look online for inspiration for cryptic clues or novel suggestions for your hunt, you could also set up some fun activities such as a hula hoop competition, egg and spoon race, bunny hop sack race, pin the tail on the rabbit or egg toss.
BUILD A FAIRY HOUSE Gather materials from hedgerows, parks and flowerbeds to create a tiny home for imaginary creatures in your garden. Get creative by adding touches like a carpet (moss) and a washbasin (an upturned shell).
GET CRAFTY Easter gives us a whole host of new craft
projects that can be undertaken, pompom chicks, egg cress men, Easter bonnets and cards. The list is almost endless and will provide hours of fun to all ages of children. If you can’t face the mess, then wait for a dry day and take the activities out into the garden.
BUILD A DEN
All you need is a large blanket, some sheets and cushions. This should keep little ones occupied for a while, either indoors or outdoors.
