Easter is always a fun time for kids, especially when they know they have a week or so break from school.  Instead of the children doing the same thing, such as playing on computer games, mobile phones and basically toys that are too old or no good for them, why not give them something to do that is educational, fun and productive and also more appropriate for their own age.

This article will provide some great ideas for parents in terms of what to buy for kids, so that they can have fun at Easter and do something different.

Art and Craft Ideas for Easter

Whether you’re a parent looking to create something for you’re children at Easter or looking for ideas for what children can create, here are some ideas that you may find doing together:  –

Create and Use Easter Eggs for Decorating

Decorate table (s) with small polystyrene Eggs and have a Kraft paper table cloth. Colour the eggs, attach them together with string, put faces on the eggs and attach legs to the eggs if preferred. Use string or any other arts and crafts that you can imagine. You do not require using the exact same arts and crafts materials for the Easter Eggs as mentioned, these are just ideas for you/children.

Create an Easter Bunny

Use any art and craft material that you find appropriate and feel is appropriate for children to use and create an Easter Bunny – kid’s will love this and they may keep it till for another year; a great way to get decorating the house with Easter type Arts and Crafts.

Bunny Cookies

Grow Egg Heads

Children will love to grow some egg heads; using open end egg shells, decorating the eggs and putting water cress in the egg shells will not only be great fun for the kids, but also educational. Parents will have to help younger children.

The Check List

Make sure to brig with you one luggage only, otherwise you´ll be in pain carrying around all that weight! Pick it big enough, but it has to be something that is easy to carry. A good idea when starting to pack is to first do a check list of all the things you will need to bring. The internet here can come in handy: packinglistonline.com offers you an easy way to do it. You can insert information regarding your destination, temperature, length and means of travel, activities you´ll likely undertake while there and the site will provide you a useful list of everything you will need. Make sure to bring an extra empty and foldable bag, so that you won´t have to spare on your on-site shopping!

The Issue

We women, are always chronically undecided on what to wear, therefore we tend to bring a little of everything “just in case”. Be smart: if you are staying away only a few days, prepare already a few outfits that you will need for sure; try to “recycle” the same items to make a different outfit with just a little add (e.g. The same top with two different pair of pants). Most importantly, do not exaggerate with the shoes! And try to wear those that will take out most of the space on your way there (unless super uncomfortable, otherwise you will be coursing the entire way to your destination!).

Layers

Same thing as above can work for other clothes too. If your bag is already full, but you are sure you will going to need exactly that jacket, and you think that maybe your beloved cardigan could be useful if nights are chilly… then layer up! Without becoming the cannon girl, just try to wear on your trip all those items that just take unnecessary space from your luggage. Remember still to be comfortable and don’t dress up too much or you will melt all the way!

What about Make-up?

Make-up is always very important: but try to be realistic. Think about where you are headed. If you are planning a weekend under the sun, maybe you won´t need much make-up with you after all. Stick to the basics; only bring those products that make up of your every- occasion-cosmetics and you´ll be perfect and beautiful in every situation. Instead of bringing all your body, face and hand lotions, go for travel kits and smaller sizes. You might also want to consider using a plastic make-up bag, if worried about some pool splashes or if you are going camping.

Some Sparkle

Go light with the jewellery and, as for clothing, consider wearing the least precious ones while headed to you weekend destination. Bring a statement piece that can match most of your outfits and try to go for something sparkling and light instead of precious stones that unfortunately weight a lot!

Done. Are you able to carry your own luggage without your boyfriend´s help?! If yes, then you are ready to go! Have fun ladies!
