Our checklist for celebrating Easter at home

With restrictions still continuing it may be hard to properly celebrate this colourful holiday. We’ve rounded up the best ways to celebrate Easter from the comfort of your own home while still having an amazing time with your family.

Decorations and supplies

First thing’s first, decorations! One of the best things about celebrating this holiday at home are the fun and colourful decorations you get to fill your house with. Most grocery stores such as PARKnSHOP and Marketplace sell Easter supplies and decorations that not only make your house look amazing but are also fun for the kids to put up. From streamers and jelly window stickers to little yellow chicks and confetti, decorating your house to fit the theme is a fun activity for the whole family.

Easter meals

Regardless of how you celebrate Easter, the food may arguably be the most important thing when celebrating at home. Have a roast or check your local restaurants on Foodpanda or Deliveroo for Easter specials, either way, your Easter meal will be thouroughly enjoyed while sharing it with your family on this special day.

Egg decorating

One of the best ways to keep the kids (and possibly adults) busy during Easter would probably be egg decorating. Try to find the whitest eggs you could possibly get as they are easier to paint on, buy some paint and glitter and start decorating! Come up with fun patterns and colours and let your imagination run wild.

Watch a movie

Hop

The films main protagonist Fred injures a rabbit who is next in line to become the Easter Bunny and takes him in until his pain subsides. Eventually, the rabbit has overstayed his welcome and starts to aggravate Fred. Throughout the movie, both Fred and the rabbit become closer, along with facing many adversities due to the rabbits rebeliousness. Definitley a great and humourous movie for both kids and adults alike.

Rise of the Guardians

Although Rise of the Guardians isn’t only about Easter, the Easter Bunny definitley plays a huge role in this movie. Played by Hugh Jackman, the Easter Bunny is a ‘tough on the outside, soft on the inside’ type of character. The movie contains the Tooth Fairy, Sandman, Santa Claus, Jack Frost and the Boogeyman. This action-packed animation is about the guardians protecting their own holidays as well as the children of the worlds’ dreams by putting an end to Pitch Black (the Boogeyman) as he makes it his lifes mission to prevent children from believing in them.

Egg-hunt

Last but not least, the highlight of every Easter is the egg-hunt. Kids love waking up in the morning to chocolate eggs and variations of candy hidden around the house. A nice twist on the classic egg-hunt could be to give clues as to where the eggs are hidden as well as a big prize or surprise at the end (maybe from the Easter Bunny).
