Easter for all the family: get creative!

The spring holidays are here, and with them the magic of Easter! It’s a time to reconnect, create together, and share tender, joyful memories. Whether you’re a parent or a nanny, it’s the perfect time to share joyful moments with your children. To combine laughter, learning and unforgettable memories, here are some simple, creative activities for all ages to try out right now!

The egg hunt revisited

The timeless egg hunt is always a hit. To make it even more fun:

• Hide colour-coded eggs according to age.
• Slip little challenges inside: ‘Do 5 frog jumps’, ‘Say a compliment to a friend’, etc.
• Add treasure hunt-style clues for older children

Egg decorating workshop

A creative classic that lets children express their imagination:

• Use hard-boiled or emptied eggs.
• Use felt pens, paint, stickers and glitter.

Easter cooking

Getting your hands dirty is always a success:

• Make shortbread in the shape of bunnies or eggs with the children.
• Or make a carrot and chocolate cake together, a sure-fire hit!

Themed crafts

Handicrafts that are easy to adapt to different ages:

• Rabbit puppets made from socks.
• Easter wreaths made from cardboard and paper flowers.
• Cards to send to grandparents decorated with little chicks.

Easter board games

Create your own games:

• An Easter animal memory game.
• Easter bingo (rabbit, egg, bell, hen, chocolate, etc.).
• A spoon race with eggs (ping pong ball).

Spring gardening

Take advantage of the sun’s return to :

• Sow flowers or herbs.
• Plant seeds in recycled eggshells.
• Make an Easter scarecrow for your garden or balcony.

Easter fancy dress and parade

Organise a little carnival:

• Make paper bunny ears.
• Create costumes of chicks or funny bells.
• Finish off with a musical parade in the living room!

Souvenir photo shoot

Set up a homemade photobooth:

• Pastel decor, garlands of carrots or rabbits.
• Fun accessories to make (egg-white glasses, bow ties, bunny moustaches).
• Printed photos to give to parents or hang up.

Quiet time with Easter colouring

Finally, a little Zen time:

• Print out colouring pages of bunnies, eggs and baskets.
• Offer a mandala version for older children.
• Play soft music for a relaxing workshop.

Bonus for nannies: why not create an Easter diary with the children at the end of the week? Collages, photos, drawings, notes… Families will be delighted to discover all the activities they’ve enjoyed during the holidays!

It’s up to you!
