Easter baking
Preparing for Easter can be fun too; it is about spending time together and baking together as a family, which is a great way to bond. Encourage your children to assist in the kitchen by mixing batter, decorating cupcakes, or reading out the ingredients. This way, your Easter baking can be quicker and enjoyed by the entire family.
Picnic in the park
With good weather expected in most parts of the country, why not skip the traditional braai at home and pack a picnic basket and head out to the nearest park with the family?
This is an excellent opportunity for family sports, contests and even your elaborate Easter egg hunt.
Decorate eggs for Easter
In preparation for the Easter egg hunt, you can round the family together with some hard-boiled eggs, paints and paintbrushes to decorate eggs for the Easter egg hunt.
Decorating eggs is one of the oldest Easter traditions across the world. Apart from Easter egg painting, it is also a great way to spend time together as a family. It also makes it easier for your children to find the eggs if they are part of the egg decorations.
