It’s also a chance to introduce book lovers to a collection you loved growing up, such as the Harry Potter series, the Famous Five, or even the Roald Dahl collection. For early readers, there are fun themed books such as Where’s the Bunny? We’re Going on an Egg Hunt, and The Odd Egg – all eggcellent books for Easter.

For an educational Easter, spend a day out at the aquarium. It’s an opportunity for the kids to learn more about sea life and a good way to spend time away from screens. At the aquarium there will be shows, infographics and big tanks to keep the children entertained. Add to your kids Easter gifts by buying some goodies such as stuffed shark toys, a colouring book and read facts in books on the type of fish in the aquarium. You can also take a trip to the museum where theres lots to discover, free exhibits showcasing valuable collections and rare art. The Natural History Museum has interactive features such as an earthquake simulation and also has Dinosaurs. We have more Easter holiday activities with the kids ideas.

Toys are a nice present for the kids and can keep them entertained right through the Easter holidays. Why not try some Easter themed Lego sets to spend some quality time with the kids putting it all together. Depending on their age (and how long you want to spend building), you can choose an easy set such as the Lego Creator White Rabbit, or go for something more challenging like the Hogwarts castle. For the younger kids you could pick up an Easter themed chicken or bunny stuffed toy from the cuddly toy selection.

Take the chance to refresh the kids’ wardrobes with a few spring themed pieces. You could go for some bright Easter colours such as pinks and greens or even add some polka dots. Either way the kids will be happy with a brand new set of clothes. If you want to stick with the Easter theme, then a rabbit onesie would make a fun addition to the kids’ cosy pyjamas collection.

Personalised Easter baskets can be a thoughtful way of giving the kids a few treats that are personalised to their hobbies and interests. Swap out the chocolate and fill the basket with little gifts that the kids want and need. You could fill up a small basket with a new Xbox or PlayStation game, some house slippers, a new mug or even lip gloss. There’s no need to break the bank here, just go for whatever you can afford.

For the older kids who may be more difficult to buy for, Easter can be a great time to give them some money and top up their savings. Check out this handy guide to gifting money to children to help you decide how much to money to give.
