Springing Into the Season: Ear-resistable Ideas for this Easter Long Weekend

Now that everyone’s online classes are done for the holiday, it’s time to step away from those screens and have some fun family time together. We’ve got five ways to feel the Easter spirit over the long weekend.

?A New Dimension of DIY Crafts

As a kid’s best friend, Harbour City cares as much about their development as it does their fun. To celebrate Easter, Harbour City has created an exciting new “Hoppy Hunting!” board game for kids, available for download online. Just print, assemble and customize, all from the comfort of home. Be the first to finish as you roll to move spaces, count eggs, and sing along the way. A few rounds later, and Board Game Night will never be the same again!

For a full-sized experience, Harbour City has turned its ground-floor Atrium at the Ocean Terminal into a hopscotch playground, where kids can come to play, jump around and keep active. And if that wasn’t a reason to be hoppy enough, from 10th to 13th April, they can also get a surprise gift from Venchi by joining our Easter egg treasure hunt.

And if you really love making things, then you won’t want to miss our hcKids “Swing Along” Design Competition, now accepting submissions until April 19.

?Egg-citing Adventures Await

A quiet weekend at home story makes the perfect time to set your imagination free with a good book.Head over to Sesame Street and join Elmo, Abby Cadabby and all of their friends for a magical (and hilarious) adventure with Elmo’s Easter Egg Surprises, which can be found at eslite.

If you like a little more interaction to your page-turners, you’ll Peek-a-Flap: Hop offers delights in each of its dozen flaps (also at Book Castle).

 Just because you can’t go outside to play doesn’t mean the fun’s got to stop. Head over to Toys “R” Us and bring home a furry new friend with Hatchimals, the original electronic pet that breaks out of its own shell.

?For the Sweet Tooth in All of Us

After all is said and fun, it’s time to relax and share some sweet treats! Take your tastebuds on an adventure with GODIVA’s Spring Collection 2020. With its array of adorable chicks, mini eggs and squares in a variety of flavours, kids and adults alike will enjoy the guessing game as much as the delicious chocolate sweets.

Also joining in on the Easter fun is CAFE@OFF-WHITE with an array of irresistibly cute bunny and egg themed cakes, tarts and popsicles, while DALLOYAU offers up a whimsical chocolate mousse cake and elegant package of French petite chocolates that’s perfect as a gift.

For those seeking a bit of edible art comes Venchi’s Spring 2020 collection of gourmet eggs, featuring the talents of a group of talented young award-winning designers. Last but certainly not least is Sugarfina with its collection of bite-sized marshmallow and caramel confectioneries that are perfect for sharing with the family.

?Festive Specials at Featured Restaurants

Every family who celebrates the holiday can agree that one of the best traditions is Easter meal. Take a load off you shoulders this Easter weekend and drop to our restaurants.

If you want to enjoy a relaxing meal outside with fresh air, consider BLT Steak for a brunch buffet with your choice of mains, or if time flies and it’s dinner time already, consider Paper Moon’s bountiful seafood platter for two as part of its unforgetable Easter Chef’s Recommendation menu.
