Here are 12 fun Easter activities to try with kids indoors this Easter weekend

With the coronavirus pandemic keeping most of us inside, outdoor Easter Egg hunts are off the cards for now.

However, if your Easter weekend usually involves outdoor travel or activities, don’t fret - you can still keep your kids happy and busy this Easter with these fun indoor activities for making the holiday special.

Make an Easter bonnet

If you’ve got some craft supplies handy, you can while away the hours making a beautiful Easter bonnet for your kids to parade around the house.

Hobbycraft has some excellent decoration ideas and instructions on how to get going here.

Rock painting

If your craft supplies are running a little low, a more simple craft activity you can do is some Easter rock painting. All you’ll need is some palm-sized pebbles, paint, and a little creativity.

Have a look on Pinterest for some inspiration on what to paint if you’re feeling stuck. 

Egg decorating 

If you can’t find any suitable pebbles lying around, why not hard-boil some eggs and have a go at painting those. 

Once you’re done, you could host an egg-and-spoon race with the decorated eggs if you’re lucky enough to have a garden and the kids don’t mind them getting cracked. 

Making Easter cards

While you might not be able to visit family and friends this Easter, you can still reach them the old fashioned way - with snail mail.

Grab some card and get out some pens, paint, glitter or whatever else you have lying around and make some Easter cards.
