Fun For The Whole Family

Getting the whole family together for Easter or having friends over for an Easter celebration can involve more than the traditional Easter egg hunt. To keep kids and adults occupied and jazz up your celebration, try these fun activities for all ages.

Easter activity #1: Decorate Easter cookies

Make one to two dozen sugar cookies and set up an Easter decorating area with frosting, sprinkles and other toppings for the cookies. You can also use ice cream instead of cookies and have the family make their own ice cream sundaes with their favorite toppings.

Easter activity #2: Bunny making contest

Provide construction paper, cotton balls, glue, markers, glitter, scissors, ribbon and other arts and crafts supplies. Let the kids cut out and decorate their own Easter bunnies. Hang up the creations and have someone judge the most creative and give out a prize.

Easter activity #3: Broken egg riddles

Cut out large Easter eggs out of construction paper. Write a riddle on the top and the answer on the bottom of the eggs and then cut them in half. Mix them up and hand out one egg halve to each person. Then each person walks around talking to the others while trying to find the right riddle and answer combination and sits down when they find their match. The first pair to sit down wins.

Hello everyone, I saw those yummy looking Easter treats and thought they looked great, such a great idea on how to get the children involved with cooking. I am really looking forward to Easter this year as my sister is coming home from USA. Easter is one of those religious festivals that can turn out to be quite stressful, what with all the family over demanding attention, and having to cook lunch for everyone... the list goes on, so this article will be most helpful. I always find Easter greetings cards quite expensive, and I really don't like giving my hard earned cash to those big greetings card companies. So I may have found an alternative solution in the form of electronic greetings cards. Not only do they save paper, and stamps, but as long as you opt for a free site then the Easter e-Card is going to be free. I have done my research and have found a really lovely Free Easter e-Card site. I like this site as I found it so easy to use, which is great because I am not very confident with computers, also I liked the wide range of choice of cards they offer. There are loads of e-Card sites out there, so it maybe worth doing your own research in order to find the best one. Hope everyone has a great Easter whatever you decide to get up to.
