Easter is one of the major Christian holidays. The date that it takes place changes every year; this year Easter lands on April 9. There are many traditions celebrated on Easter, with some of the most common ones being making Easter baskets, attending an Easter egg hunt, and going to church. To make your search for Easter activities easier, we’ve found some great resources and event schedules that you can use to plan your Easter.
Make Easter Baskets
There are no rules when it comes to making Easter baskets. By “making Easter baskets” we mean filing them with treats. In a way, they are similar to Christmas stockings, but the baskets are sometimes hidden for children to find. They are usually filled with candy or small toys. While all of these items can be picked up at any store, it can be a lot more fun to make some of the items yourself or go to an Easter sale.
