Easter DIYs: ways to get the whole family involved
With everyone constantly on the go, it’s easy to forget how special those little moments together can be. This Easter break is a valuable opportunity to reconnect with loved ones, share laughter and create lasting memories.
Easter is the perfect chance to slow down and spend quality time with family and friends — Easter DIYs are a fun, hands-on way to bring everyone together and make the most of the holiday. Here are five Easter DIYs you can enjoy over the bank holiday weekend:
1. Personalised egg decorations
Adding a personal touch to Easter eggs is a simple yet meaningful way to get everyone involved. You can use store-bought eggs (just make sure to boil them and let them cool down first to create a solid base) or alternatively buy plain wooden eggs from craft stores or make your own from materials around the home.
Whether it’s painting names, adding creative designs or even using stickers and ribbons, each family member can create their own Easter egg. The idea behind this is to enjoy the moment with family. These personalised eggs also make lovely keepsakes or table centerpieces for everyone to remember!
2. Easter egg hunt
Are there any Easter activities better than a classic Easter egg hunt?
A well-planned Easter egg hunt is a classic tradition that never goes out of style. It is a great way to spark laughter, togetherness and of course a little bit of friendly competition! Whether it be teaming up with the children or watching the excitement unfold, parents can enjoy the experience too. You can add an extra layer of challenge to the hunt by creating clues or riddles to follow the trail.
3. Painting flowerpots
Now is the perfect time to get the family involved with gardening, with Spring creating excellent conditions for vegetables and certain flowers to grow. Painting and personalising pots is a wonderful way to bring colour to your home and spend some quality time with family. All you need are some pots, acrylic paints (or any paints really!), brushes and maybe a bit of (eco-friendly) glitter if you’re feeling experimental. Painting flowerpots is perfect for all ages – children love painting and adults find it surprisingly therapeutic.
To extend the activity, plant bulbs in the personalised pots and watch them grow over the months!
4. Easter BBQ/picnic
Let’s be honest—this one’s a bit weather dependent (British Spring, anyone?). But if we are lucky enough to have some sunshine, a BBQ or picnic is an ideal way to gather friends and family outdoors. Enjoy a laid-back afternoon of food, drinks, games and laughter this Easter.
Even if it ends up indoors with a few umbrellas by the door, the family feeling and conversations are what really make it special.
5. Easter baking
Turn the kitchen into a mini The Great British Bake Off this Easter with a bit of fun, friendly, family competition. Whether it’s chocolate nests, hot cross buns, simnel cake or trying your hand at more complex ideas, baking together is a fantastic way to teach children valuable practical skills while having a laugh. It encourages creativity, teamwork and maybe even a bit of (friendly) rivalry.
Bonus: Everyone’s a winner when it’s time to eat!
Cherishing the moments that matter this Easter
For busy families and parents, it’s not always easy to slow down — but even a few hours spent laughing, crafting or cooking together can make a world of difference. These moments are what build the memories we’ll carry for years to come. So this Easter, don’t forget to unwind and enjoy what matters most.
