Have fun on an Easter Egg Hunt

Cathy and I have been looking for ideas of where to take our niece aged 4 over Easter. Everyone loves an Easter Egg Hunt (even the adults!) and have found the following venues in Sussex:

Michelham Priory - 12 -13 April 2009
Two day event for children with puzzles, trails and of course Easter Eggs!

Borde Hill Gardens - 1- 30 April 2009
Word Maze picture trail for 7-12 year olds
Picture Maze Easter Trail for 3-6 year olds
Each child will be awarded with an Easter Egg once they have completed the trail.

These are a few ideas, check out your local area for similar events.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star - Most Popular Lullaby

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star is still the most popular lullaby to sing babies to sleep, according to Infacol (infant colic treatment specialists).

Anna and I have always sang traditional songs & lullabies to our little girls - they love hearing & dancing to them. The repetition has helped with their communication - new words are said all the time!

Anna takes her daughter to a local Rhyme club once a week, which they both really enjoy & would highly recommend it for children from 6 mths. Look for local groups in your area.

Visit a local Farm this spring

Now that we have longer days and warmer weather (it was lovely this weekend), why not take your children to a local farm?

Great to see animals at first hand and may well be luck enough to see a lamb being born. Lots of farms are open to the public all year around and are great to get children out and about.

For example - Spring Barn Farm Park, Lewes, allow you to bottle feed orphan lambs from 28th March and also have a Easter egg hunt & quiz on Easter weekend

We think this is a great day out for everyone so we are planning on taking our children in the next few weeks.
