It’s a spring thing
Winter has been long, likely filled with sniffles and colds, but now it's time to step outside, put on your rain boots, and enjoy the fresh spring air with these fun-filled family activities.
Fun at the Farm
Nothing says spring like seeing baby animals in the fields. Why not visit a local farm park and get up close with adorable newborn animals? Many farms open their doors during Easter, giving kids the chance to meet new arrivals like chicks, lambs, and calves. A day at the farm is a great way to connect with nature and learn about the wonders of spring.
Chocolate Egg Hunt
Every Easter, families across the U.S. take part in Easter egg hunts, a time-honored tradition filled with excitement and delicious treats. Check out local parks, recreation centers, or community events for fun-filled hunts. For more information on Easter activities and events, visit: https://www.cadburyusa.com/easter
Bug and Butterfly Hunt

Hoppy Easter
Besides bringing baskets full of chocolate, the Easter Bunny is a cherished tradition for many families. You might need to do a little research to find where your local Easter Bunny will be making an appearance, but a good place to start is at a nearby garden center, shopping mall, or community event. If the event also features arts and crafts or an indoor play area, that’s an extra bonus!
Pack a Picnic
Spring weather can be unpredictable, but with a little planning, an Easter-themed picnic can be the perfect way to enjoy a relaxing family outing. Look for a scenic spot near you, like a park or lake, and pack an easy-to-eat lunch with some fun Easter treats. Don’t forget a large picnic blanket, a ball for games, and some extra cash for ice cream. If traveling isn’t an option, set up a backyard picnic and create your own little outdoor adventure.
