So, Easter is normally a lovely holiday for us all. Spent in the sun, doing fun things with the family, maybe having picnics in the park or BBQ's. Of course, this year is very different BUT I am hoping I can give you some ideas and encourage you to think outside the box & still celebrate.
1. BAKING.
We all love a good baking session. Get into the Easter mood with easy Easter bakes such as Easter nest. BBC's Good Food recipe is a great & easy recipe to use.
Prep: 25 mins Cook: 8 mins Plus chilling
Easy
Makes 12
These easy chocolate nests are the perfect Easter treat. They're simple enough for kids to get involved and they need just three ingredients
200g milk chocolate, broken into pieces
85g shredded wheat, crushed
2 x 100g bags mini chocolate
eggs
You'll also need
cupcake cases
1.Melt the chocolate in a small bowl placed over a pan of barely simmering water. Pour the chocolate over the shredded wheat and stir well to combine.
2. Spoon the chocolate wheat into 12 cupcake cases and press the back of a teaspoon in the centre to create a nest shape. Place 3 mini chocolate eggs on top of each nest. Chill the nests in the fridge for 2 hrs until set.

2. Colouring
Here are some printable colouring pages. Save these to your desktop and then print!
3. Video Call
Arrange a time to all jump on a call. Share memories and talk about your get together when this storm passes. Allow all your family members to contribute and come up with a plan of action.
4. Create a vison board.
Use old magazines, and newspapers to create your dream boards so you know where and in what direction you want to go in once this storm passes. Making them bright and colourful to put up in your room to help you keep focused.
5. A hidden treasure hut.
Allow your children to paint their hard boiled eggs. Allow them to dry over-night then hide them around the house for the children to find. Whoever finds more eggs wins a prize of your choice.
6. Create your own picnic to have at your dining table:
Make sandwiches, cakes, scones, get the chocolate out, create food that is easy to make and that the children can help with too.
7. A family quiz!
You can do a proper pub quiz. WATCH VIRTUAL PUB QUIZ on YouTube. Grab your drinks, true pub grub and enjoy 5 rounds of questions. New quizzes come out every Thursay. You can stream all the quizzes online at any time via YouTube .
8. Drawing competition / colouring competition:
Set your family a EASTER themed drawing competition or set your children a colouring competition. Use an image above as inspiration.
9. Night at the movies: get your fave snacks, pick you fave films and enjoy a night all together.
10. Board games: we all love a good board game.
11. Puzzle challenge: see how long it takes you to complete a full puzzle and there are some hard jigsaw puzzles out there. Work together in a team and see how you get on.
12. Interactive games: Guess Who, Pictionary and many more.
13. Chocolate egg search, the children want their Easter goodies? Leave them clues and hide small treats that lead them to their main egg.
I hope this post is helpful for you and you enjoy getting into some of the above activities.
Don't cancel Easter, get savvy and creative. Make it sparkle in your own way!
Share with me YOUR Easter isolation ideas! I would love to hear from you.
