Family Friendly Easter Activity Ideas
Easter is one of those magical moments in spring when everything feels a little lighter, a little brighter, and a lot more joyful. It’s the perfect time to pause, enjoy the outdoors, and spend quality time with the people who matter most. If you’re searching for family friendly Easter activity ideas, we’ve pulled together some fun, low-stress ways to make the long weekend feel extra special.
Classic Egg Hunts With a Twist
No Easter is complete without an egg hunt—but why not give it a creative twist this year? Set up a themed hunt in the garden, like a woodland creature trail or a fairy treasure quest. Leave little clues, fill eggs with treats or hand-written jokes, and let the adventure unfold. Older kids will love a good scavenger challenge too!
And of course, we’re dressing the part. We’re keeping it relaxed but chic with the Lotus Blouse in Ecru and a pair of comfy denims—ideal for crouching behind hedges and racing to the next clue, all while looking effortlessly put together.
Family Friendly Easter Activity Ideas
If you’re staying home or hosting, Easter weekend is the perfect excuse to get creative. Set up a crafting corner where the kids can decorate eggs, make bunny masks or put together spring wreaths. It’s a lovely way to slow down, get stuck into something hands-on, and maybe even make some keepsakes for next year.
When the weather plays nice, take things outside. A few old-school games—think bunny hop races or egg-and-spoon relays—can bring loads of laughter and get everyone moving. It doesn’t have to be fancy, just fun.
Bake Up Some Easter Joy
Nothing says Easter like the smell of something delicious coming from the kitchen. Get the whole family involved in baking hot cross buns, carrot cupcakes or simple chocolate nests. Kids love the decorating part, and older ones can help out with measuring and mixing.
Hosting friends or neighbours? Turn it into a mini garden tea party. Lay out a sweet table with homemade bakes, lemonade, and fresh spring flowers. Throw on something light and feminine—think flowy dresses and soft tones—to match the mood.
Dress Up and Snap Some Memories
Easter is the perfect time for a few family snaps, whether it’s a quick selfie in the garden or a more posed photo for the family album. Coordinating soft florals and spring colours makes it feel a little extra special without looking overly styled.
We’re reaching for the April Button Front Mini Floral Print Midi Dress in White—it’s breezy, beautifully detailed, and gives those effortlessly pretty vibes we love. Perfect for twirling around the garden or simply sitting down to lunch in style.
Create a Springtime Movie Night
After a busy day of fun, settle in for a cosy movie night. Stack the sofa with blankets and cushions, make some popcorn or hot chocolates, and let the kids pick a feel-good film. It’s the perfect way to wind down.
And yes, we’re going all in on the matching pyjamas. The Kids PJ Set in Aster Patchwork Pink and Cami Short PJ Set in Aster Patchwork Pink are our go-to—sweet, soft, and lovely for those cuddle-up-on-the-couch moments.
Final Thoughts
The best part about Easter? It doesn’t need to be perfect—it just needs to feel good. Whether you’re baking with the kids, chasing them around the garden, or simply curling up for a film, it’s all about making memories together.
We hope these family friendly Easter activity ideas help you create something special this spring. From all of us at Lily and Lionel, have a joyful, love-filled Easter weekend.
