5 ways to celebrate Easter with children
1. Go to church and / or Easter parade
If you and your children are believers, attending an Easter service may be a good option. Many cities also hold Easter parades that can be fun for the whole family.
Whether you are religious or not, keep in mind that tolerance, respect and love should always be the watchwords.
2. Go out into the country
If the weather is nice where you live during Easter, you are in luck! Do not think about it too much, but just take your children out into the country and out into nature.
There is no better time for you and your children to explore and get in touch with nature and your own feelings. Even if it rains while you are there, you can just take out your umbrellas and rainwear and explore anyway!
Your children will have a lot of fun : they will run around, roll around in the green grass and breathe fresh air. We are sometimes so used to our lives in the city that we forget the beauty that nature offers.
But be careful! If the place is muddy, the children will more or less swim in mud. And they will love it!
3. Go on an Easter egg hunt and / or paint Easter eggs
The Easter egg tradition does not look the same in all countries. In some you usually paint your own Easter eggs while in others you buy them in a store. Some use real eggs and others choose to fill their eggs with goodies. What is important is how they make the children wonder.
Who does not like to find Easter eggs with chocolate in the grass? Arrange an Easter egg hunt for your children and at the same time attract your inner child so that you can enjoy the experience together. Or if you prefer to paint eggs, make it a competition for the whole family and vote for the winner. It can be a fun tradition for your family!
4. Gather the whole family
One of the best ways to celebrate Easter with children is to have a family reunion. It’s probably been too long since your children met their grandparents, aunts, and uncles (especially if they live some distance away).
If you have to work, you can send the children over in advance so they can spend quality time with their relatives before you get there – and why not make it extra fun for the children by letting them dress up as Easter bunnies and surprise their relatives when they knock on the door?
We are often so busy in everyday life that we, a little at a time, drift further and further away from our families. This is a great opportunity to plan a reunion and have fun together. Pack your bags (and your children) and visit the ones you love the most!
Take advantage of what your city has to offer
If for some reason (work or simply because you want to) decide to stay in the city, you can definitely take advantage of it and plan some interesting things to do. You can take your children to the theater and go and watch a play or musical. Or you can go to a museum to admire some art.
You can even take them out to a restaurant, go to the cinema or even better: ask them what they want to do!
We often force our children to do things they do not want to do and their everyday lives are full of musts. Kids are fun and creative, and they can come up with lots of fun ideas on their own. Before making any decisions, you should definitely make sure that you ask them for advice first.
By planning different ways to celebrate Easter with your children, you will definitely get closer to each other. Work, school and routines often take up a lot of the time that families have together.
A break from time to time is necessary and positive, both physically and mentally. Take advantage of them and create memories for life.
