How to Celebrate Easter At Home

Whether you were supposed to go away this weekend, or spend it with family, this Easter probably isn't going to be how you'd planned it. So I've put together a couple of things that you can do with both family/friends/flatmates to get you in the Easter spirit at home.

Organise an "at home" Easter Egg hunt - Whether it's in your back garden, or if you have a flat, around the flat, nothing can get between me and an Easter egg. My flatmate and I were supposed to be in Brussels, but if we can't go to the chocolate, we must bring the chocolate to us. We've organised an Easter egg hunt for each other, writing up clues around the house; think hiding places like Microwave, washing machine, kitchen cupboards - don't worry Em, these aren't where I've chosen to hide them ha! Anagrams and rhymes make the clues as hard as you want!

Do some Easter Baking - Easter is probably one of my favourite seasons to bake for. Mainly because Easter chocolate is my favourite kind of chocolate to incorporate and it's definitely the prettiest aesthetically. Give yourself a challenge, bake something new that you never would have baked before or if you've got kids you can never go wrong with rice Krispy cakes. I've got a couple of Easter recipes on my blog here, all relatively easy as well; The Ultimate Mini Egg Easter Cookies, Cadbury's Mini Egg Millionaire's Shortbread , Caramel Chocolate Creme Egg Brownies & Chocolate Easter Wreath 

Get Creative - There are so many arts and crafty things you can do to get creative with your flatmates/friends/family. Not something that I ever did, but apparently making an Easter Bonnet is a thing? Take a look on Pinterest  for different bonnet ideas, and you can even run a fashion show with your kids or anyone. Another idea is seeing what's available online,  Escape Hunt have downloadable Easter packs here which are filled with brain-teasing puzzles, mindfulness colouring pages and scavenger hunt clues for indoor hunt (if you don't want to come up with your own) it's perfect for all ages to get involved in.

DIY/Write Easter Cards - I think at this time there is nothing lovelier than getting some post. Whether you write to some family members you may not be with at this time of the year, or even a stranger it's something that can really brighten up there day. You can now also have the time to get crafty, make the cards or letters personalised. Check out the Facebook group called "Postcards of Kindness" which has a long list of care homes you can write to who would love to receive a card or letter.

Cosy Down with an Easter Film - After a long day of scavenging, sit down with one of your Easter bakes and a cup of tea and watch an Easter film. One's that scream Easter to me; Peter Rabbit, Christopher Robbin, Hop & Babe.
