What else is everyone up to? Looking for cheap inspiration!

Make some coloured decorated hard boiled eggs with food colouring etc.
Go for a walk to look for catkins, spring flowers and blossom etc.
Make Easter cards.
Make Easter spiced biscuits.
Go pond dipping.
Make Easter mobiles, ducks chicks rabbits (a good use for old wire coat hangers).

@AdaColeman thanks! Great ideas!

Playdates as many as possible.

At this age they are (relatively) easy and they and a friend can entertain each other for hours.

Only thing is I find mine both need a friend at the same time or there are squabbles.

Other ideas: outdoor “treasure hunt” (geocaching maybe?? Or Pokemon Go); bike or scooter ride if they have one; pavement chalks; feed the ducks (mine are 9 and 7 and still like it!); lego or jigsaws; den building; card games - mine are just learning go fish, hearts, rummy.

-swimming (It's free for kids in my town)
-visit grandparents
-bike rides
-go to playground (and send a WhatsApp to the class to see if anyone wants to join us)
-errands (eg, dentist/opticians/new school shoes) plus a treat (eg magazine) for not too much complaining.
-cinema (if there's a kids club screening)

Thank you!

A nature hunt if small so give them a piece of paper with a list of things on like - a leaf - a flower etc etc and they need to find the things on the walk and tick them off as they go.

Swimming (we have gym membership so swim lots)

National trust are doing egg hunts
