1. Please stop here signs – to guide the Easter bunny to your home
We love this please stop here sign for Easter, and we think the kids would too. Unlike other signs, this one isn't brightly coloured or plastic, and you can use it for years to come. It's made of oak and engraved to read 'Easter Bunny please stop here!' and it's shaped like an Easter egg.
You can also engrave a message on the back to personalise it for your little one. A lovely buy for a first Easter, whether you're planning on using it indoors hung on their bedroom door handle, or outdoors on a tree – we prefer the latter, obviously.
2. A ceramic Easter Bunny to hold and hide one (or more) eggs
If you are searching for innovative ways to hide eggs this year, other than just in flower beds and behind trees, then this ceramic bunny dish can definitely serve this purpose. It's technically for indoor use, on your dining table, but you could definitely use it outdoors in the morning – for your egg hunt – and then bring it indoors for your dinner. It's made of ceramic and could fit a fair few small eggs.
3. Buy an Easter wreath for your front or back door
Every added garden decoration will make this Easter feel more special, so we definitely think an Easter wreath – specifically, this one from Lights4Fun – would be a lovely addition to your outside space. It's wrapped with foliage and dotted with faux daisies, and it lights up! Pop it on a door, hang it on a brick wall or use it on their playhouse.
4. Hide some of these eco-friendly plantable eggs in your garden for them to find
Because they definitely can have too much chocolate in one day, and these Easter eggs give back – they are plantable so will help feed the bees once they've grown. Hide some of these around your garden, as well as some actual eggs, and get the kids to find them and bring them back. Then, you can all spend time together actually planting them indoors, and when the time comes you can replant them outside. A lovely idea!
5. Don't forget to buy directional arrows to help them find the chocolate
Stick these wooden arrows into your grass to help direct the kids to the chocolate, and use the wooden paw-shaped prints on the floor to help them find their way, too. The signs read 'Start here!' 'This way' and 'Hop hooray'. Also included are two bunny-shaped signs that go into the floor, both of which have fluffy tails. Set the route and hide those eggs...
6. What is a celebration without bunting? Especially ones that double as lighting come dark
A little bit of bunting will be sure to brighten up your garden, ready for the Easter bunny to do his job. This bunting is white, green, blue and grey – so very fitting! – and it doubles as lighting featuring 20 bulbs. They are solar powered, too, and you can use them year-round, not just for Easter.
