In light of this, this article is going to take a deep dive into some interesting Easter traditions and celebration ideas that you should consider doing.
Fun Family Traditions That You Must Do This Easter
There can't be a better way to start an Easter holiday fully prepared for the fun stuff. This is why you must start preplanning your activities one or two weeks before the Easter holiday so that everybody is well-prepared. So, without further ado, begin your 2024 Easter holiday preparations and celebrations with some of these exciting traditions and activities that you can do with your friends and family.
1. Prepare a Personalized and Decorative Easter Tree
One of the best ways to add some next-level family fun and excitement is to build a nice little decorative Easter egg tree, which is a pretty big tradition in Germany. They even have a name for it, "Ostereierbaum". However, the tradition isn't just exclusive to that part of the world.
Easter trees are very easy to make and personalize but you need to prepare for the activity a bit before the holiday arrives. While in the past, these Easter trees were mainly placed outside or decorated with hollowed-out eggs, today, these trees are considered as a center of attention inside the home.
What's even more interesting is that just like the Christmas tree, you can use anything you want to decorate the Easter tree (of course, the Easter eggs should be the main theme). You can even set them up a couple of weeks before the Easter holiday season arrives as a way to look forward to a gentle and serene season of spring while uplifting the mood and interior decorations in your humble abode.
2. Show Some Imagination With Do-It-Yourself Easter Ornaments
Another fantastic way to celebrate Easter is to engage in DIY Easter ornament decorations starting with trying to make cute little animals with toilet paper rolls. It is simple to learn how to make these things and even bunnies, birds, birdhouses, etc. as a way of engaging your kids and encouraging them to be creative.
3. Easter Egg Painting and Decorations
What is Easter without painting and decorating Easter eggs? Better yet, encourage and motivate your children to stay active while painting the eggs by having them do the activities on a height-adjustable standing desk. Decorating Easter eggs is a worldwide phenomenon on Easter – everybody celebrating the holiday does it.
Plus, it is very easy to do. Just get your hands on a couple of dozen faux pas eggs. They can be in plastic or wood. Then use different types of acrylic paint colours to decorate them – you can design anything you want. And finally, when you're done, it is time to the eggs for the kids so that they can hunt for them in the morning.
One of the best advantages of using wooden Easter eggs is that they can be reused time and again on every Easter holiday. All you have to do is store them neatly in any box or more specifically, an Easter box, if you want. They can also be something that you can cherish over generations, passing them down to the next generation.
4. Create Colourful Easter Egg Baskets
Another creative, fun, and engaging way of celebrating the Easter holidays while keeping your children active is to use everyday stuff lying around the house to make colorful Easter egg baskets.
One of the best things about this activity is that the baskets don't have to be perfect. You can make them with recycled plastic or other viable materials also promoting a sense of sustainability. On the other hand, you can also prepare the baskets with spent cartons or jugs of milk, juice cartons, cans, unused sweaters, and much more.
5. Easter Bunny Pictures or It Didn't Happen!
One of the most common traditions widely practiced at Easter by people all over the world is Easter bunny pictures! You can find a big, fluffy life-sized bunny rabbit at every mall, store corner, party, and much more. You can even hire an Easter bunny to help hide the eggs from your children at home. But the point is, that Easter is a celebratory occasion, and just like any other occasion, it should be immortalized.
