The Easter school holidays are the perfect time to press pause, slow down, and fill your days with creative play. At Paper Pops, we believe in screen-free activities that spark imagination, build storytelling skills, and create memories to last well beyond the chocolate-fuelled weekend. Whether it’s a rainy day indoors or a sun-drenched Easter morning, we’ve got just the thing to keep little minds inspired.
Plan B for Rainy Days: Calm, Cosy, and Creative
Not every day is made for outdoor adventures—and that’s okay. Create a magical indoor play setup featuring our lovable Roxy the Rabbit BendyMate fidget toy—your child’s perfect reading and crafting buddy.
-
Set up a cosy reading nook with picture books and let Roxy ‘listen along’ during storytime.
-
Use Easter colouring sheets for mindful quiet time
-
Create bunny masks, paper garlands, or egg characters with simple craft materials
-
Set up a small world scene for Roxy using pebbles, felt, or nature finds
-
Encourage storytelling by having your child make up adventures starring Roxy the Rabbit
These gentle activities help develop early literacy, promote emotional regulation, and inspire imaginative thinking—perfect for rainy afternoons indoors.
Hop, Hunt, and Hide: An Easter Egg Adventure
Get the kids moving with a fresh take on the classic Easter egg hunt. Our Mila the Kangaroo costume comes complete with a built-in pouch—the perfect place to store chocolatey treasures!
-
Dress up as Mila and hop around the garden in search of eggs
-
Hide clues and turn it into a treasure trail adventure
-
Let kids decorate their egg-hunting baskets or even Mila’s pouch!
It’s a joyful way to build anticipation, get active, and turn dressing up into part of the fun.
