Quick and Easy Easter Activities To Do As A Family With What You Have At Home
Here are some quick and easy Easter activities to do as a family with what you have at home. All the items used are common items you can find in your kitchen or around the house.
I just wanted to say thank you to our local Canadian Super Store where I was able to pick up all the fresh produce for dying the eggs and staples for baking ingredients that I normally would have in my pantry.
Hope you have lots of fun and laughter with your family! Wishing you the happy Easter!

Hint: Rub a little vegetable oil on the shell to give it a polished look!
Bunny Surprise Toilet Roll
Christmas is a favourite celebration in our home. But why let all the fun happen then? Christmas crackers are always fun to have at the dinner table, so let’s make a cute Easter cracker (without the cracker)! Here is a fun and easy Easter activity that helps you use and reuse the empty toilet rolls you have lying around!
Here is a before and after picture! So easy!
Fold the ends of the toilet roll and add ears and draw the face.
Have your kids white down an Easter riddle on a strip of paper and then take the riddle and wrap it around a chocolate treat to be placed inside the bunny!
