When looking for some fun things to do with the kids, we found that Horrible Histories was doing another live event. As Kai really loves Horrible Histories, and often we are looking for events he will enjoy, we had to book up tickets and see what it was like. The Horrible Histories Live Onboard! Terrible Thames was a really wonderful tour all up and down the Thames river in London.

Last year, due to lockdown restrictions, we actually got along to quite a few different Easter Trails in our local area. The kids had a really good time at them, so this year we took a look to see if any new Easter trails popped up, and found one at Hyde Hall that looked quite unique! Hyde Hall is a massive garden space, with plants from many different biomes. For Easter, they put a bunch of huge Eggs around their gardens, along with information on the flowers and riddles to guess what bird has the type of egg shown on the sign.

It’s been a while since we’ve had a DIY kit from Doughnut time! The kids and I both seemed to have forgotten about them, in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. But, when planning the menu for Easter Holidays, we remembered, and figured it would be very fun to decorate some donuts together as a family before eating them up! Doughnut Time has a bunch of new kits, including the Hoppy Easter DIY Kit, which is the one we picked for this season!

[Ad- gifted product] Easter is right around the corner, so obviously the girls are inspired to make all sorts of Easter crafts. Plasticine is the perfect way for Robin and Amelia to make some clay crafts time and time again, as none of the clay dries – so you can reuse it to your hearts content! As spring break is among us, we decided to bust out loads of the Plasticine kits and make some Easter crafts.
