Take a little time to plan Children's Easter activities in order to keep things running smoothly.
While planning holiday dinners and special outfits for the season find the time to select story books and non-fiction literature.
These can be enjoyed by older visitors who may wish to interact with children when they are around for the holiday.
The children enjoy the attention but the elders may not have the energy for other kinds of activities.
Quiet games, jigsaw puzzles and coloring books can provide suitable pastimes to be enjoyed by children and older guests.
Spring is a time of year when wildlife can be more easily observed so activities centering around them would be fun and educational.
It is also when plants and trees are coming out of dormancy so that would be a good opportunity to encounter nature.
Toys like bug collectors and children's binoculars are gateways to science and perfectly enjoyable to older siblings.
Outdoor activities would provide a good photo opportunity with those spring flowers in bloom and children engrossed in the wonders of nature.
Have the children gather together for an Easter egg run.
Make sure the eggs you use are boiled.
You don't want dropped eggs splattering on the lawn.
All the runners get a spoon and one egg.
When the race starts they have to balance their egg on the spoon as they 'run' or maybe just walk fast to the finish line.
For some a cook out or pool party can be planned in order to optimize the unique attributes of very warm regions.
It may be hard to relate traditional Easter notions of nature waking up in these hotter areas as it would be in very cold climates in which snow falls are still substantial at Easter.
It may be best not to confuse small children with these ideas.
Temporal matters are still very challenging to the very young and it may be best to concentrate on other festivities.
