So we simply had to put together a few Easter Treats for the Kids that are simple enough for you to whip up in no time at all and to enjoy with the whole family as well as some extra idea’s you may be needing this weekend.

Get the kids involved in making these Rice Krispie Treats this weekend for Easter. So the weather this Easter is not looking as ‘dry’ as we would have liked so im putting together a list of some fabulous things to do with the kids that I think they will love and you can rest easy knowing you have back-up activities for when they start to really loose their mind.

  • Lorna always brings out the goods when it comes to baking and also bringing in aspects of absolute ease. Plus you will most probably have everything in your pantry anyway. Add a few Speckly eggs and mini smarties to your trolley at your next Refillery Refill and Boom – Sorted!Rice Krispie Treats

  • I bought myself a HUGE easter themed colouring in sheet created and sold by Rebecca @inthesestilettos

Which is incredible value for money and I know my kids will love it too. I may pop it on the wall and let them colour with crayons or even tape it to the floor for the day and let them get carried away.

  • I also love these ideas of Easter crafts and Activities that are relatively easy to do, I especially love the chicks using paint and a potato masher!

Ingredients

Instructions

  • You will need a powerful blender for this one. If you don’t have a great blender then use a knife to chop the dates up before.
  • Place the almonds into the blender and chop until they are a crumb. Add in the dates and oats and blend. I kept mine quite chunky, but you can go as smooth as you want.
     
  • Roll the mixture into a sausage and form into donuts, then form the ears and stick them on. I dotted on some speckled eggs in the ears.
