Easter is a special time of year, full of fun and festive activities for families to enjoy. As a single mum, you might be wondering what activities you can do with your kids during the Easter holiday. Don’t worry – there are plenty of fun and easy Easter activities that you can do together. Here are seven Easter activities for single mums and kids to get you started…
1. Easter Egg Hunt
No Easter holiday is complete without an Easter egg hunt! Hide some plastic eggs filled with treats, small toys around your home or yard, or of course real chocolate eggs, and let your kids search for them. You can even make it a competition to see who can find the most eggs.
2. Egg Decorating
Decorating eggs is a classic Easter activity that kids love. Blowing the eggs is the first step. It allows you to create hollow eggs that can be painted or decorated without breaking. Here are the steps to blow eggs for decoration:
- Gather your materials: You’ll need eggs, a needle or pin, a bowl, and a straw.
- Use the needle or pin to make a small hole in both ends of the egg. The holes should be about the same size and located at opposite ends of the egg.
- Hold the egg over the bowl and blow through one of the holes to force the egg contents out through the other hole. Be sure to blow gently and steadily so you don’t crack the egg.
- Rinse the egg under running water and shake out any remaining egg inside.
- Allow the egg to dry completely before decorating.
Then it’s time to decorate!
You can use store-bought dye kits or get creative with paint, stickers, markers, feathers, nail polish, and glitter. This activity can get messy, so be sure to set up a workspace that’s easy to clean up.
And Ta-da!! You have created beautiful and unique Easter decorations.
3. Easter Crafts
There are an endless number of other Easter-themed crafts that you can do with your kids. You can, for example, make bunny ears, create Easter cards, or make a colorful Easter wreath. Check out some online tutorials or crafting books for inspiration.
4. Bake Easter Treats
Get into the kitchen with your kids and bake some Easter-themed treats, such as cookies in the shape of Easter eggs or bunnies. You can decorate them together with frosting and sprinkles.
5. Easter Storytime
Take some time to read Easter-themed books together with your kids. This can be a great opportunity to teach them about the religious significance of the holiday, or simply enjoy some fun and festive stories.
6. Easter Movie Night
Cozy up on the couch with some Easter-themed movies, such as “Hop,” “Rise of the Guardians,” or “It’s the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown!” Make some popcorn and enjoy the movie together.
7. Easter Picnic
If the weather is good, plan a picnic with your kids. Pack some Easter-themed snacks, such as carrot sticks, deviled eggs, or fruit salad with pastel-colored fruit. You can also pack the Easter treats that you made!
Remember, the most important thing is to spend quality time with your kids during the Easter holiday. Whether you’re decorating eggs or baking treats, these Easter activities for single mums and kids can be a great way to bond and create lasting memories together. And if you don’t have your kids this Easter, I hope this blog post helps.
Either way, I hope you have fun and a happy Easter!
