TOP 10 EASTER ACTIVITIES FOR CHILDREN

1. Easter Outfits

Whether they’re Easter egg hunting or family lunching, there’s a JoJo outfit to suit those dreamy, dressed-up days. For the littlest family members, opt for yellow sleepsuits and duck-printed rompers. Baby Easter outfits can feel extra special with frills, florals, bubble shapes and oh-so-soft seersucker fabric.

For the bigger toddlers and kids, our girls’ dresses are shaped and made for carefree twirling, with plenty of party layers and tulle skirts to swish and swoosh. Explore gingham designs and classic prints including florals, polka dots and stripes to fun fruity prints and animal appliqué they will love to wear.

For the boys, a polo shirt, cord trousers or dungarees make a day feel smarter than usual. Need a quick (last minute?) outfit… We’ve got lots of ready-made styles and 2-pieces suitable for whatever Easter plans you have.

2. Pick Transitional Floral Prints

The great thing about floral prints is that they’re perfect for spring and summer dressing! They’re very versatile, making it the perfect transitional print. Wear girls’ floral dresses in a smart way by teaming them with knitted cardigans and layering with tops while the weather is cooler, then enjoy them in the sun-soaked months too.

3. Playtime Clothes

Along with plenty of chocolate eating, church visiting, family gatherings and gift giving, the Easter holidays are for playing outside and exploring the great outdoors. Come rain or shine, those casual days call for comfy clothes to rely on. Uplift their basics with pretty patterns and vibrant colours for lighter, brighter days with fuss-free kids’ t-shirts, joggers and hoodies. Complete their look with secure trainers and canvas pumps made for racing and chasing. You’ll be happy to know that our children’s essentials are all part of our 3 for 2 mix and match offer. So it’s time to stock up on everyday styles, buy in multipacks and save money as you do it.

6. Easter Egg Hunt

… just not as we know it. Welcome to the Easter Games: an Easter egg hunt with a twist. If your children can’t eat chocolate or you want to avoid sugar rushes, they will love searching for Easter gifts and tokens instead! It’s the perfect alternative to chocolate Easter eggs for kids without missing out on the famous activity. Create small paper envelopes with their name on the front and the prize written inside. Alternatively, have them zip and zoom around the garden to find wrapped gifts perfectly sized for popping in their Easter baskets.

7. Garden Games

For the playful days and garden soirées, outdoor toys are the best kids’ games that get everyone up on their feet. Clamber into the back garden with the whole clan, pick their favourite garden toys and set up an assault course – why not make it an annual family tradition? Explore our kids’ outdoor toys including bowling, croquet, ring toss and golf that the family can get involved in. Don’t forget to put water and juice in the fridge for a refreshing drink to slurp down afterwards.

8. Spring Picnics

Dine alfresco with the children and have (the first of many) lunches outside. Make it a picnic party or a teddy bears picnic for a cloud gazing, daisy-chain lacing feast. Pack the picnic basket with the bits and bobs that make eating outdoors easy. Find insulated food bags, reusable water bottles, food pots, kids’ cutlery sets and everything else you’ll need for a fun-filled family picnic for warmer days ahead.

9. Easter Crafts

Crafty kids will love getting stuck in with paints, and pens and creating unique things perfect for sticking on the fridge at home! First up, consider helping them with flower pressing – After a day of mini meadow frolicking and flower picking, it’s a great activity to help them learn about different flowers and nature. Use our wooden flower press to keep their favourite blooms for their memory boxes. If they’d rather get their hands mucky, create family and friends homemade Easter cards using our Finger Paint Magic Box by Jar Melo.

10. Easter Cakes & Bakes

Encourage star bakers and creative geniuses to experiment in the kitchen with plenty of Easter baking. For hours of sticky fingers, flour-faced grins and kitchen wiggles, our kids’ baking kit has all the tools they need to get to work (and bowl licking!) – for extra brownie points, take fresh bakes to any family gathering. Whisk up jam tarts and brownies to fluffy butterfly cakes and chocolate egg nests… the question is, do you use cornflakes or rice crispies?
