Easter Inspiration

Easter is a time to get together and recharge with family and friends.  Not to mention indulge, after the long period of Lent.  The Easter weekend is fast approaching but with the kids already off, it can be hard to find time to start planning your Easter celebration.  Although, this makes it a perfect opportunity to get your kids involved in the preparations; baking, crafting, and decorating.  Our Pinterest board Easter Inspiration is packed full of ideas to inspire every aspect of your Easter weekend. Here we’ve picked out some of our favourites.

Bake

Baking is a great way to keep the kids entertained for a few hours.  Plus, it results in a tasty treat or gift once finished.  There are tons of creative and experimental recipes out there for Easter themed goodies.  Or if you aren’t as skilled at baking, simply buy in some baked goods and decorate them with bunnies, flowers and eggs in spring shades of pastel.

Craft

Getting creative and doing some craft projects with your kids is a great way to pass an afternoon, especially if the weather isn’t cooperating. It’s also a great place to start making decorations to fill your home with Easter themed spring style.  So, don’t hesitate to put down some newspaper and get out the paints, glitter and glue.

Decorate

When decorating for Easter there is no need to go over the top. You can produce a stunning effect by simply introducing small touches around the home. Stick to a spring colour palette of pastels and include some spring florals to keep the look feeling fresh and in season. Add decorations handmade by you and your kids, like painted eggs, paper garlands, and table centrepieces to create a charming homely feel.

Gift

Don’t forget Easter gifts for those who either don’t like or can’t have chocolate. A batch of homemade wine or liqueur presented in a chalkboard bottle. A coloured vase set complete with faux posies to brighten someones home. Or someone’s favourite sweet treats in a personalised Easter treats jar.
