You can hide chocolate eggs, small toys or Easter-themed items around the backyard, park or campsite and watch as everyone dashes to their next find. It's a great way to get everyone out and enjoy the outdoors. Plus, you can tailor the difficulty of the hunt for different age groups, so everyone can get involved.

• A map of where you hid everything (or a good memory!)

Take In The Wonders Of The Universe By Stargazing

This Easter, take a moment to gaze at the cosmos and enjoy the beauty of the night sky. With clear autumn evenings ahead, it's the perfect time to stargaze, whether you're in your backyard or on a remote adventure. Grab a telescope or binoculars, lie back and watch the stars twinkle. You can spot constellations like the Southern Cross or even catch a glimpse of planets like Jupiter and Mars. Stargazing is a peaceful and awe-inspiring way to connect with nature, and it's an experience the whole family can enjoy.

What you'll need:

Test Your Skills With A Game Of Egg Toss

Enjoy a fun family activity with a game of egg toss this Easter. It's a simple yet exciting way to bring everyone together outdoors. Grab a few hard-boiled eggs (or raw ones if you're brave!), pair up and start tossing them back and forth. With each successful catch, take a step back to make the game more challenging. The last team standing with an unbroken egg wins the game. It's a great way to get everyone laughing and enjoying some friendly competition, all while making lasting Easter memories.

What you'll need:

• Eggs, whether hard-boiled or fresh from the carton
• An even number of players
• Old clothing, if you're playing with raw eggs

Enjoy A Relaxing Feast By Going Picnicking

Spread out a picnic blanket, enjoy the fresh air and unwind with good food and company. Whether it's a simple spread or a more elaborate feast, a picnic is the perfect way to slow down, appreciate the outdoors and create some magic moments this Easter.

What you'll need:

• A picnic blanket to spread out
• Camping tableware to eat from
• A cooler to keep your snacks fresh

Set The Family Scrambling With A Scavenger Hunt

Give the family a fun challenge this Easter with a scavenger hunt. Hide clues and treats around the house or garden, then watch as everyone embarks on a merry chase to uncover hidden surprises. You can make it as difficult or easy as you like, so the whole family can play along. A scavenger hunt is a thrilling way to get the family moving, laughing and working together. It's an Easter adventure everyone will remember long after the holiday is over.

What you'll need:

• A list of items they'll need to find
• Clever clues that help them just enough
• Clear boundaries, so nobody wanders off

Go On A Hike Or Walk & Explore Nature
