Creative hacks to try this Easter
Busy Mum of four & hacks queen Casey Major-Bunce @majormumhacks has over 400k followers on Instagram who love her fun & creative ideas.
Casey believes some of her natural resourcefulness and ability to think outside of the box result from her dyslexia, which she now considers her superpower.
She shared some of her top tips for Easter with us:
- Fill an egg box with plastic eggs and pop some snacks in each egg for a fun snack. My kids love this, and it's a really good way to get children to try different foods.
- Ice lolly eggs are a bit different- use an egg box and fill it up with plastic eggs. Use a piping tip to fill them with juice, pop a lolly stick in, and leave them overnight. My kids love these!
- Fill an ice cream cone with mini Easter eggs and wrap them in cellophane. Tie off with a bow. These make the cutest low-cost Easter favours.
- Want to try something a bit different? Buy a small box of Lego and using plastic eggs, fill each one with different parts. Leave the box and a note with a sign telling your child what they must do. You can also Hide puzzle pieces inside the eggs.
- Fill plastic eggs with notes of fun activities you can do together; it doesn't have to be expensive tickets. It could be 1 hour at the park, playing football in the garden, or watching a favourite film together.
- For older kids - let everyone stay up past bedtime for a fun flashlight hunt, or use small glow sticks and add them to the eggs so they can find them in the dark!
- If you have more than one child and want to make easter egg hunts a little fairer, give each child a different colour plastic egg and tell them they can only collect their colour.
- Too much sugar? On an Easter egg hunt, you could pop in hair ties, bracelets, Barbie clothes, or even Play-Doh instead.
