How to Throw the Ultimate Kids’ Easter Party: Games, Gifts & Sweet Surprises

Easter is the perfect time to bring family and friends together for a celebration full of colour, joy, and chocolate. Hosting a kids' Easter party is a wonderful way to make the season even more magical—with egg hunts, bunny-themed décor, and thoughtful gifts to match. Whether you’re planning a backyard gathering or an indoor celebration, here are some fun and easy ideas to throw an Easter party your little guests will never forget.

1. Set the Scene with Springtime Vibes

Start by creating a bright, cheerful party space. Think pastel tablecloths, bunny-shaped garlands, and fresh spring florals. Want a long-lasting, low-maintenance option? The Grace Faux Flower arrangement is an elegant way to add colour and charm to your décor, without worrying about watering or wilting. Place it on the table as a centerpiece or gift it to a hostess or guest of honour.

2. Easter Egg Hunt with a Twist

No Easter party is complete without the classic egg hunt! Hide colourful plastic eggs filled with candy, stickers, or small toys around your home or yard. Add a twist by creating clues for an Easter treasure hunt, encouraging kids to work in teams to solve puzzles and find the golden egg.

Want a sweet prize for the winner? Treat them to the Truffle Tower—a beautifully packaged collection of decadent chocolate truffles. It's the perfect indulgence for older kids, or a treat parents will appreciate after a busy day of hosting.

3. Bunny-Themed Craft Station

Let creativity run wild by setting up a DIY craft table. Supply kids with paper, markers, cotton balls, and stickers to create their own bunny masks or Easter cards. You can even provide pre-cut egg shapes for decorating with glitter and sequins.

For an extra surprise, place a cuddly plush bunny at each seat as a party favour. Options like the Sweet Bunny are ideal for toddlers, while Blair the Bunny makes a perfect companion for slightly older children. Their adorable design and soft texture make them instant favourites that will be loved well beyond Easter.

4. Bunny Meet-and-Greet (Featuring Basil!)

If you're looking for a magical photo opportunity, why not include a bunny meet-and-greet setup? While a real bunny might not be practical, the Basil the Bunny plush makes a great stand-in. Set up a “Bunny Burrow” corner with a themed backdrop and props where kids can cuddle Basil and pose for photos. It's a stress-free alternative to live animals and adds a personal, heartwarming touch.

5. Build Your Own Easter Basket Station

Let kids customize their own Easter goodies at a basket-building table. Provide small baskets and a variety of fillers—mini chocolates, crayons, fruit snacks, and bubble wands. This interactive station is always a hit and gives guests something meaningful to take home.

To elevate this idea for parents or older guests, consider offering pre-curated baskets like the Avenue Gift Basket, which features premium snacks and sweets in a beautifully arranged presentation. It also makes a great gift for grandparents attending the event or as a thank-you for your helpers.

6. Tasty Treats & Sweet Eats

From bunny-shaped sandwiches to pastel cupcakes, food is a big part of the fun. Serve easy-to-eat items like mini pancakes, fruit skewers, and chocolate-dipped pretzels. For a show-stopping centrepiece, offer a beautifully wrapped treat like the Truffle Tower to satisfy every sweet tooth.

Pair the dessert table with refreshments like lemonade in mason jars or “Bunny Milkshakes” made with vanilla ice cream and strawberry syrup. Don't forget to label everything with themed name cards to add a polished touch.

7. Storytime & Wind Down

As the party winds down, gather the kids for an Easter-themed storytime. Choose a short, engaging book about the meaning of Easter or a fun bunny adventure. Hand out plush bunnies like Basil or Blair for children to cuddle during the reading—it’s a calming, memorable way to wrap up the event.

8. Don’t Forget the Grown-Ups

While the party is all about the kids, it’s thoughtful to have something for the parents and adult guests too. Set up a small lounge or refreshment area where adults can relax, sip coffee or tea, and enjoy gourmet snacks. Offering something like the Avenue Gift Basket is a great way to say thank you for coming—or to gift to anyone who helped with the planning.

9. Party Favours They’ll Love

End your Easter bash on a high note with memorable party favours. Plush toys like the Sweet Bunny make adorable take-home gifts for little ones, while faux flowers like Grace offer grown-up guests a lasting reminder of your beautiful springtime celebration.
