And clever ideas for you to prepare for a great Easter...

If you don’t want to give your child too many chocolates, you can combine their gift with a small gift such as some new paints or books. Get a wooden crate from your local craft store and paint it a fun colour, line it with coloured shredded paper to match and place the presents inside with a small Easter egg and scatter with mini eggs. The Works have them starting at just £2 ● Click Here to Buy

Make an ‘Easter Tree’ for your table. Find a suitably sized branch. Half fill a flowerpot with stone. Fix the branch into the stones and then completely fill the flower pot with more stones. Decorate with coloured mini eggs attached to pieces of ribbon or look out for miniature faux eggs and miniature bunnies in a variety of colours.

If you are having a special family lunch, why not prepare a very special decoration for each place setting? Buy the cheapest chocolate eggs – one for each person and using icing, personalise each one with the person’s name. Small sugar decorations can be bought in most supermarkets and these can be attached with a blob of icing.

Make some Easter nest cakes by baking some small sponge cakes in paper cases and when they have cooled, pipe chocolate buttercream into ‘nests’ and fill them with 2- 3 mini eggs.

Happy Easter!
