The Easter holidays are here, which happily means more time spent with your littles. It does however mean you need to think of ways to keep little hands and minds occupied, particularly on any (inevitable) rainy days. So, we turned to some of our craftiest influencers in the hunt for Easter-themed activities that are toddler-friendly, creative (but not too tricky) and thrifty (these can all be done with bits and bobs you’ll probably have at home.)
