When Is Easter 2023? B&M’s Guide to the Perfect Kids’ Easter

Whether you spend yours in Church or at home tucking into a chocolate egg with the kids, Easter is all about getting together to celebrate life’s sweeter moments.

Contrary to most public and religious holidays in the UK, though, Easter doesn’t actually have a fixed date.

Instead, it occurs on the Sunday after the first full moon following the vernal equinox, which welcomes spring in the northern hemisphere. Still with us?

According to our calculations, that places Easter on Sunday, 9 April. Woo-hoo!

Other than gifting chocolate eggs, we know it can be quite difficult keeping the kids happy and busy on a day like this.

That’s why we’ve put together an all-in-one guide for the perfect kids’ Easter, including how to decorate your home, craft ideas, and the perfect outdoor hunt with the little ones!

Easter Decorations for Home

One of the best ways to get everyone in the Easter Bunny spirit is by transforming your home with all the Easter-themed decorations you can get your hands on.

 

Balloons are the perfect way to spruce up any space, and with our 80-piece Easter Balloon Arch kit, you’ll have everything you need to get the party started. Got a vase to hand? Why not fill it with our Easter Egg Foliage? These Bunny Honeycomb Decorations, meanwhile, will look at home on your mantlepiece, shelving units or tables.

Easter Crafts

Once you’ve decided on your favourite decorations (those balloons are our favourite!) it’s time to get the Easter Crafts out for some serious, egg-stra fun crafting.

Containing three easter eggs, two paint brushes and eight colours to choose from, the Paint Your Own Easter Eggs set is the perfect way for your little ones to have hours of Easter fun. And there’s no Easter without an Easter Bonnet! Let them make their own with this cute Make Your Own Easter Bonnet kit. Finally, there’s no better way to get ready for the afternoon Easter egg hunt than with the Easter Egg Hunt Kit - bursting full of items ready for the best Easter egg hunt ever!

B&M Top Tip: Why not complete your craft table with an Easter Table Cloth? Available in two designs, these tablecloths will help protect your tabletop while the kids are busy creating!

Easter Egg Hunt

We don’t know about you, but no Easter is complete without an Easter egg hunt – it’s the perfect excuse to get the kids outside for the perfect chocolate-collecting challenge.

Before you all get going, you’ll need to look the part, so it’s time to dust off those bunny ears with our Easter Bunny Ears Headband to make sure you’re hopping around in style. And nobunny better forget a basket to put all your eggs in – especially one like our Felt Easter Basket, available in two stunning designs to protect all that delicious chocolate. Finally, what better way to treat departing guests than with a cute Easter Bunny Bag? These 10-packs include various colours and are decorated with cute bunny illustrations.
