Easter

Easter – Cheerful makes, treats, and table moments

This collection offers friendly decorations, egg-hunt helpers, craft kits, baking accents, and table pieces for spring gatherings. It suits families, hosts, and makers planning relaxed afternoons. It is especially helpful now as lighter days invite simple colour and playful detail. With a calm plan and tidy tools, the weekend feels bright and easy to organise.

Choose garlands, paper decorations, baskets, treat bags, and table runners that share a gentle palette. Add stickers, tags, and ribbons for quick finishing touches. For crafts, keep safe scissors, glue, and card in a tray. In the kitchen, use simple moulds or cutters to bring seasonal shapes to bakes without complicated steps.

Plan the day in three parts: decorate, create, and share. Set the hunt route before guests arrive, then place treats where they are easy to spot at different heights. At the table, mix one patterned element with quiet companions so the setting feels lively yet uncluttered. Short, guided activities keep energy steady.

Afterwards, fold decorations, sort craft leftovers by colour, and store everything in labelled bags. Wash and air baking tools before returning them to their shelf. A light reset returns the room to calm and prepares the box for the next spring weekend without last-minute searching or duplicate supplies.

Frequently asked questions

How do I plan a simple egg hunt?

Map a short loop through safe, visible spots and vary heights for interest. Use baskets or small bags and agree a limit per child so everyone finishes happily. Place a sign at the start and keep the final clue near the table. This structure keeps the pace lively and easy to supervise.

What is an easy Easter table idea?

Lay a plain runner, add a small centre accent, and repeat one colour in napkins and tags. Keep plates and cups within comfortable reach, leaving space for shared dishes. Simple repetition creates harmony, while open areas support passing and conversation. The table looks bright without requiring complex folding or layering.

How can I organise a short craft session?

Prepare a tray with pre-cut shapes, safe glue, and stickers. Offer one example and a two-step plan, then let makers choose colours. Keep wipes and a bin nearby. A fifteen-minute window suits mixed ages and keeps enthusiasm high. Store leftovers by shade for quick use at the next session.

Any tips for storing decorations until next year?

Sort by type into labelled bags, protect delicate pieces with tissue, and place everything in a lidded box. Keep the box in a dry cupboard and add a small contents list on top. When spring returns, you can set up quickly and avoid purchasing items you already have in good condition.
