Spring Holiday!

Whether it’s adventure, something totally away from the norm, a luxury holiday or keeping the kids happy this Easter, I have all the answers for what you are looking for.

And if I don’t, join in the conversation and tell all of us what you have planned!

For something completely different this Easter, why not go along to a park, and make a sculpture or learn pottery with your child, or even sewing! Activities are extensively listed in this article from the Guardian and are family orientated, paying special attention to kids learning.

Take a look online and search for activities that are taking place near you; look out for woods, parks and local walking areas for things to attend. Have a look at these sites to find local information:

Trip Advisor – For holidays, weekends away and places to go for the day. This site will advise you on the best places to visit suited to your needs, there is even a forum to find out what others recommend and interactive games to play.

The Good Food Guide – for all you need to know about the best restaurants in your area, including non bias reviews.

For specific information about what is going on in your area, take a look at your local council website for the best places to visit. Most councils provide a site dedicated to the county and its best features!

If you’re planning to escape this Easter, be it with the family, on your own or just the two of you, have a look at these holiday sites that have packages catered to every detailed need.

Activities for the kids
The Internet has so much good stuff for all ages that I couldn’t resist looking for kids’ activities for the Easter holiday. I found some fantastic websites; take a look at these;

Kaboose has a huge selection of craft ideas, including pintables for the kids to enjoy colouring in or solving while you make the lunch. This is a family orientated website and also offers recipes specific for Easter and egg decorating tips for adults and for kids!

Raising kids is another website full to the brim with inspiration on how to entertain the children this Easter, including helpful suggestions from members of the site on what they do when it’s raining outside and you’re driving one another mad!

Activity Village is an area for, well…just as the title indicates! There is a whole variety of craft and activity ideas, these appear in the form of recommended websites to specific tasks; like making chicks and rabbits, decorating eggs and creating lovely Easter cards for the family.
