Easter doesn’t have to mean expensive days out and endless spending. With a bit of creativity (and a few well-placed discounts), you can keep little ones entertained without blowing the budget.

Here are 5 simple, affordable ways to make the most of Easter with your little one…

1. Easter egg hunt in the garden

You really can’t beat a classic. Whether it’s your garden, a local park, or even hiding eggs around the house, little ones love the excitement of the hunt.

Keep it simple with chocolate eggs or mix in small toys, stickers or clues depending on their age.

💡 Cubbi tip Stock up on Easter treats for less with discounts at Ocado and Iceland. Perfect for grabbing everything in one go, from mini eggs to last-minute party bits.

2. Family breakfast day out

Sometimes it’s the simplest things that feel like a treat. Heading out for breakfast with your little one can feel like a mini occasion, especially during the long weekend.

Think pancakes, pastries, or a quick coffee stop while they snack alongside you.

💡 Cubbi tip Cubbi members can grab a free tea or coffee at Boston Tea Party when you’re out and about. A small saving that makes those little outings feel even better.

3. Baking at home

Rainy day? Nap-time activity? Baking is always a winner.

From simple cupcakes to Easter-themed biscuits, it’s a fun (if slightly messy) way to get little ones involved. Plus, you’ve got snacks sorted for the rest of the week.

💡 Cubbi tip Make it extra special with Biscuiteers design-your-own Easter biscuits. A great activity and gift rolled into one.

4. Easter fayres, community & church events

Local Easter events are often overlooked, but they’re one of the best low-cost ways to get out the house.

From small Easter fayres to community egg hunts and church events, you’ll usually find games, stalls, and activities designed with young children in mind.

💡 Cubbi tip Dress the part without overspending with adorable Easter outfits from Cozy Crew Club and Blade & Rose. Perfect for those photo moments.

5. Sightseeing day out

You don’t need to spend big to have a great day out. A simple walk around your nearest city, stopping to see the sights, parks, markets or riverside spots, can be just as exciting for little ones (and a lot easier on the wallet).

💡 Cubbi tip If you are planning to splash out on a family day, Cubbi members can save on places like SEA LIFE London, Twycross Zoo and Chessington World of Adventures (and many more), making bigger days out feel a bit more doable.
