10 Things to Do with your children this Easter

I bumped into a fellow parent this week and he was lamenting that the Easter holidays last for a whole two weeks – “How are we supposed to entertain them for two weeks?’’ he asked me. I guess that is the reality of modern-day life, we no longer expect or maybe we don’t trust our children to entertain themselves, so what are we supposed to do with them for two weeks? How do we not only survive but thrive over the Easter holidays together?

With four children of my own my strategy has always been to ‘keep them busy’, that way there is less chance of sibling fights occurring, more chance of a full night sleep having exhausted their energy and the avoidance of the dreaded phrase “I’m bored.” Every holiday time I come up with a plan of action and Easter is no different. Here are my top 10 things to do to keep children (of around primary school age) amused this Easter break, while keeping a rein on your spending.
