HOPPY EASTER
Easter is such an amazing time of year: the kids are home, spring has sprung, and it’s the perfect time to have those you love round for easter weekend family time.
This weeks’ entry is here to give you a variety of easter inspo. Hacks, snacks, and crafts alike.
Would it really be easter if I didn’t provide a chocolate snack idea?
1. Carrot Strawbs.
This ‘no-bake, no problem’ treat, is quick, simple, and easy with little prep time and just a few ingredients.
You’ll need:
- Strawberries
- White Chocolate
- Orange food colouring
And it’s as simple as 1,2,3.
1. Melt the white chocolate and the food colouring.
2. Dip the strawberries in, leaving the little leaves poking up.
3. Drizzle over excess coloured chocolate to give a striped texture.
These are so cute! If you want to go the extra mile, feel free to add little smiling faces, use them as cupcake toppers or lay them over smashed Oreos to give the compost effect. You really can adapt them to your liking.
2. Get out your green fingers.
A lovely easter weekend tradition is planting daffodils.
Find a nice spot in the garden or local park and plant some little daffodil seeds. The most amazing thing is that they will come back each spring all on their own without you tending to them. Something the little ones will always remember when looking back at their childhood.
3. Handy Bunny’s
This quick and easy craft is perfect for little ones to join in.
You’ll need:
- Paper/card in a colour of your choice.
- Pencil crayons
- Scissors
Here’s how:
1. Place your hand in the centre of the card and draw around it.
2. Cut out the shape and cut off the middle finger. (The paper one of course, not your own)
3. Bend the paper thumb and pinkie finger into the middle to create a bunny shape.
4. Draw the bunny’s face, ears, feet, and paws. Even add a pom-pom tail if you’d like.
5. If you are feeling extra special, why not have the bunny’s hold your cutlery or napkins at the easter Sunday table.
Super easy, Super cute!
Now for a slightly more complex idea for if you are into crafting.
4. Flower crowns and Daisy Chains
You’ll need:
- Floral wire
- Plyers
- Floral tape (or a thin double sided sticky tape)
- Collected little flowers and Greenery
Here’s how:
- Collect the teeniest flowers you can find. E.g., buttercups, daisies, and tiny bundles of white flowering shrubs
- Begin by assorting the flowers into mini bouquets and taping around their stems
- Measure the floral wire around your head and trim to size
- Shape the wire into a circle and twist the end to secure in place
- Wrap the sticky tape around the wire circle until it is completely covered
- Vine the greenery around the wire circle and secure with tape
- Add in your mini bouquets and tape to the wire, adjusting as you go.
Such a beautiful little craft that you can wear to upcoming festivals and spring/summer events.
The final suggestion for easter is to revamp your spring playlist.
5. Virtual Spring clean
- Scout out new music that you may not typically add to your liked songs.
- Find old songs you haven’t heard in forever that remind you of people and places long ago.
- Songs that make you excited for the seasons ahead, ones that make your heart smile.
- Combine them into a mega spring playlist.
- The songs you choose will always remind you of April 2023.
