Our Easter Bucket list - Montessori inspired
Mar 25, 2018 - Books , Easter - By Carine Robin
Easter break is upon us and it means 2 weeks of holidays with the children.
As my children are in full time education, I am looking forward to spend more time with them.
Equally I am not planning to pressure ourselves to do many out of the ordinary activities.
However, Easter is a time when we can celebrate together Spring and the rebirth of at least the nature itself.
As we are a non religious family, our traditions and activities are mainly related to Spring. This is a non exhaustive list of activities that I am planning do this holiday with my own children or that I have done with them when they were younger.
Visiting a farm for the lambing season:
Go to a park or woodland to admire the daffodils in bloom
I will probably encourage the children to draw daffodils if we buy a bouquet or to dissect a flower to learn the part of the flowers.
Easter egg hunt
Of course, we will have our own Easter egg hunt! When my daughter was just over 2, we hid Easter eggs for 6 months. She loved the hide-and-seek concept and that was all we did from April to the Summer!
Dying eggs:
I bookmarked this blog post from A beautiful mess that shows beautifully and naturally dyed eggs. In the past, I did this with red onions, beetroot, spinach, and onions...
Look at those eggs from A beautiful Mess!
Making a new bug hotel:
Baking:
I am planning to bake more with the children. They help to cook in general and my daughter, now 10, likes to cook a whole meal for the family. She enjoys recipes from Deliciously Ella.
As we are a gluten-free, mostly sugar-free, family, we don't bake often but I am on a mission to find and try a few sugar-free recipes to replace cakes and biscuits.
