Easter presents a great opportunity for spending quality time with loved ones. Organizing the perfect Easter plans that cater to the varied interests and ages of your family members can make the holiday even more memorable! From traditional egg hunts to creative crafts, mouthwatering brunches to outdoor adventures, there are countless ways to make sure everyone feels included and excited for the festivities ahead. Whether you're seeking religious reflections, playful activities, or simply bonding moments, these Easter plans promise a joyous celebration for the whole family to cherish. 

Easter Egg Hunt

Organize an Easter egg hunt in your backyard or a nearby park. Hide eggs filled with treats or small toys for the kids to find. You can also make it more challenging by assigning different point values to eggs based on their colors, or by adding riddles or clues to lead to the next egg. It is a great way to spend a morning or afternoon either before or after a lovely meal all together.

Easter Crafts

Set up a craft station where the whole clan can get creative! You can either use real eggs that have been hard boiled, or buy fake ones from a craft store. Gather supplies for decorating the Easter eggs, such as dyes, stickers, markers, and paint. You could also have materials for making Easter cards, paper bunny ears, or spring-themed decorations! The possibilities are endless, the only limit is your imagination!

Easter Brunch

Prepare a delicious Easter brunch with a variety of dishes to suit everyone's tastes. Include traditional favorites like lamb, deviled eggs, hot cross buns, and quiche, as well as lighter options like fruit salad and pastries. Don't forget to add some Easter-themed desserts like carrot cake, lemon bars or nest cakes using cereal dipped in melted chocolate!

Outdoor Activities 

If the weather permits, plan outdoor activities such as a family bike ride, a picnic in the park, or a nature scavenger hunt. You could also fly kites, have a family soccer game, or simply take a leisurely stroll together. As Spring starts to unfold, Easter weekend is a really lovely time to be outdoors, there’s a certain feeling in the air that you just can’t beat!

Easter Story Time

Gather the family for a story time session featuring Easter-themed books! Choose stories that are suitable for all ages and you could even take turns reading aloud. This can be a lovely, cozy way to spend time together and reinforce the meaning of the holiday.

DIY Easter Treats

Get the whole family involved in making Easter treats together. Bake and decorate cookies or cupcakes shaped like bunnies, chicks, and eggs. You could also try making homemade chocolates or marshmallow treats. There is an abundance of recipes online for inspiration- grab your whisk and let's bake!

Easter Games

Plan some Easter-themed games for some friendly competition. You could try egg rolling races, egg and spoon races, sack races, or a bean bag toss with a bunny twist! If outdoor games are not possible, then bring the games inside and try ‘pin the tail on the bunny’! A fun twist on the original favorite of 'pin the tail on the donkey’. 

Easter Service or Reflection 

Attend an Easter church service together or have a family reflection time where you discuss the significance of Easter and what it means to each family member.

The memories created during this Easter celebration will remain in the hearts of your family for years to come. Whether it's the laughter shared during an egg hunt, the warmth of a delicious meal, or the quiet reflection on the true meaning of Easter, these moments of togetherness are what truly make the day special.
