So, enlighten your kids Easter spirits by letting Easter Bunny move in. This could be one of the fun things you can try to strengthen your parent-child bond. Gather around few wood planks and make a dwarf tree trunk house door from it. Cut out a bunny face or paint a bunny avatar on it. Rest it to dry and place it in the trunk of the tree in your backyard. Put an Easter Basket near to the door to make it look realistic.

3. “Where’s The Egg?”

The egg hunt is one of the iconic group activity you can try this Easter. This is more like a treasure hunt buy, the Easter version. Involve both kiddos and elders in this game. Boil a few eggs and get some plastic eggs. Fill the plastic eggs with treats and pretzels to surprise the young ones. There are a few egg hunts conducted by local communities and organizations on Easter Day. So, have a look around and register today itself.

4. A Game of Egg Hop Relay Race

Get a few new dinnerware with platters and salad plates to make sure you don’t flunk at the presentation part.Along with dinnerware, stemware, flatware, silverware, and crystalware too are important. Having these along with your dinnerware is like the high notes and low notes of a musical instrument; together they make miracles.

7. Plant a New Bud
