6 Meaningful Easter Traditions to add to your Easter Holidays

Easter is coming up and we’re all excited to prep for the Easter holiday. Most Australians celebrate Easter but in different ways; some attend their local church service, some gather for a meal and some catch up with friends and family for the long weekend. The Easter traditions are fun for all ages from Easter crafts, Easter treats to classic Easter games. Big or small, there are a variety of fun activities and traditions to add to your long Easter weekend.

1. DIY Easter Eggs

This is one of the best Easter activities for everyone of all ages. Making your own Easter eggs are fun and it's truly one of the most fun Easter traditions. Whether you’re making an Easter egg ornament, Easter egg tree or just plain colourful eggs, be sure you’re using quality stationery, colourful pens and markers to craft your desired Easter eggs. Our Pentel Paint Marker works brilliantly on the surface of hard-boiled eggs as well as various surfaces including thick card, metal, glass, ceramic, rubber, and plastic.

2. Crafting Easter Baskets

Easter basket crafting is also a fun tradition as kids can create and customise their baskets in time for the Easter egg activity. Add a little Aussie twist to your kids' Easter Baskets with bilbies. With the help of a few colourful stationery and some creative ideas, your little ones will be able to display their baskets loud and proud and use them for the upcoming Easter activities.

3. Decorate the home with Easter Lilies

Easter lilies are a significant part of Easter. In the Christian context, these beautiful Easter Lilies symbolise purity, rebirth, new beginnings and hope. To ensure you take proper care of these lovely lilies, consider placing them in a lovely vase or flower pot like this Jute Cement Plant Pot. This plant pot is designed for small foliage perfect to place on your tabletop or as décor.

4. Easter Egg Hunt

Another fun tradition for family and friends. The Easter Egg Hunt is one of the most popular activities and is an activity that’s hardly ever been missed out on. The game is simple; eggs are hidden around a room or rooms, depending on how much area you can work with and the fun part starts when some of you start the hunt using the Easter baskets. This year, instead of hiding just Easter eggs, add some Easter bunnies into the scene. These Emporium Cheeky Bunnies and Erase It! Colourful Bunnies are perfect to join in the hunt.

5. Make Easter Hot-Cross Buns

Baking some Easter hot cross buns for the long Easter weekend is a must! Light, fluffy and sweet, these buns are a definite crowd favourite of all ages. Make it a fun family activity by baking together. Hot cross buns are easy to bake and requires a few simple ingredients. All you need to be left is some quality bakeware to get started. You can enjoy the hot cross buns with this adorable Peter Rabbit Mug. The mug also comes with a sweet bunny everyone will adore.

6. Easter Gifts for Kids

Having some Easter gifts will make the Easter weekend all the merrier. If you’re looking for the perfect gift for a toddler’s first Easter, the Bedtime Peter Rabbit is the perfect gift! This soft plush toy features Brahms Lullaby and soft lights that will keep them sound asleep. It’s the perfect cuddle buddy for your little one’s first Easter celebration.
