I will be working from home over Easter as I’m sure many of you will with the current more flexible working conditions.ย ย So, when you can’t get out and about, what can the kids be doing?
- An Easter egg hunt – I’m not sure if you ever grow out of this one – get some eggs of various sizes and hide them in the garden (or around the house) for some Easter fun.
- You might want to consider a fun but educational course that the children can take from home to occupy them.ย ย ย ย Type IT! will be running a zoom intensive course during the Easter holidays – find out more here https://www.touchtypeit.co.uk/intensive-touch-typing-holiday-courses/
- Have an Easter Breakfast – hot cross buns, pancakes or scrambled egg on toast.
- Add some colour to the garden with some colourful plants.ย ย An old favourite is to grow sunflowers in the garden.ย ย You could start them off in a pot indoors and have a competition to see whose grows the highest.ย ย If this is a bit ambitious, try growing some mustard and cress – you just need the seeds, some moisture and some cotton wool!
- Make Easter Cards for family or friends.
- Make an easy bug hotel using an empty drinks bottle and bits and pieces from the garden (or a family trip out to collect them!).ย ย https://www.redtedart.com/simple-bug-hotel-for-kids/
- Do some Easter cooking –ย here are some really yummy ideas.
