The Easter Holiday
Easter is a Christian holiday that celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ believed to have occurred three days after he was crucified by the Romans and died in roughly 30 A.D., as claimed by the New Testament of the Bible.
Easter falls on a different date each year, and for Easter 2023, it is on Sunday, April 9.

Like many other religious holidays, Easter has also become a highly commercial event often catered toward young children, full of decorated Easter baskets, and colorfully dyed eggs. There’s also the popular Easter Bunny, dropping off baskets of treats in the middle of the night to delight children on Easter Sunday morning.
Countries around the world have their own set of Easter traditions— some of them may be familiar to you, some may sound surprising. From curling up with a crime novel or TV thriller in Norway, having street water fights in Poland, to replacing the Easter Bunny with the Easter bilby in Australia, people’s activities vary from culture to culture and even region to region within the same country.
Activities to do with the Family
Here are some family-friendly activities to celebrate the season:
- Organize a mini Easter Olympics
A family Olympics is always fun. One activity you can do is Spoon Race. Grab a utensil each, a chocolate or chicken egg, and see who can reach the finish line first. Make it even trickier by introducing obstacles – whether you’re in the garden or the living room. - Level up your storytime
Bored of the same bedtime tales? Why not try inventing your own? Encourage the kids to devise a plot, then put it to life. Either write and illustrate the book together or have a performance show in the evening. Show your creativity! - Be craftsy for Easter
It wouldn’t be Easter without the crafts, would it? So as you decorate eggs to hang around the house, try adding extras like sprinkles and melted white chocolate to the ones brought by the Easter bunny. Just prepare for some mess, or rather, enjoy the mess!
- Play an[y] Easter game
There is a multitude of games you can do, and most of them need simple household items. Egg Toss does exactly what you expect: toss the hardboiled egg to improve motor skills, but not too powerfully or it will crack. There are also online versions of Easter Bingo you can give a shot, which helps younger children learn colors or shapes.
- Design a gift basket
A gift basket need not be fancy. Encourage your little ones to draw pictures, write messages, or choose some chocolates to give away to the neighbors. Then leave a socially distanced present for them on the doorstep. While we can’t meet up with all our loved ones, we can still spread joy to those around us.
Also, why not spice up the basket a little and add Dreamdays Gift Vouchers & Gift Box? Surprise your loved ones with a different Easter present!
